A member asked:

Tsh: "outside of normal"; free t3 (liothyronine) & t4: "within normal"; tpoa: 2.9; tga: 3.4. been on 50 mcg synthyroid for 3 yrs. first full thyroid test. please exp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too many: Thyroid tests. You only need TSH and free t4. Don't know what outside of normal means. If TSH is low, you're on too much replacement. If too high, it's not enough. Let your doctor adjust it at six week intervals until it's normal and then at least yearly checks.
