A member asked:

If my t3 (liothyronine) was borderline low in combination with my tsh does that make me hyperthyroid?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Hyperthyroid: I would expect T3 (liothyronine) to be high and TSH to be very low in a hyperthyroid.

T4 free 0.93, T3 (liothyronine) free 1.2, TSH 1.02 does this mean I have hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or is it normal.

Could this indicate hyperthyroidism? Free T4 is 20 pmo/l, TSH is 2.2 mIU/l, free T3 (liothyronine) is 6 pmo/l. Upper ref. ranges for these are: 19, 4.9 and 6.
