Test Results for Hypothyroidism
by jasrkl7, May 25, 2009 12:23PM
I recently had my Thyroid tested and the results are:
TSH 1.552
Thyroxine T4 5.7
T3 Uptake 33
Free Thyroxine Index 1.9
The doctor who did the test diagnosed me with Hypothyroidism. I went to a specialist and they said I don't have a thyroid problem. that it is normal. Can someone help me explain the results.

Thank you for the reply. I got re-tested and the free T4 is .09. The doctor now thinks I have a pituitary problem as my IGH-1 test was really low <70. Does that diagnosis seem correct?
