A member asked:

Had 2 sets of thyroid tests. results test 1 = tsh 13.62 with ft4 1.1 ; results test 2 = tsh 12.68 with ft4 1.3. dx is hypothyroid but why is t4 normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Early stage: In early stages of hypothyroidism with elevated TSH, FT4 may be in the normal range. It would be prudent to follow your doctor's advice about thyroid medication. See this site for more info. http://www.webmd.com/women/thyroid-hormone-tests?page=3
