Hypothyroid? Dr's unsure
by Nancy1234, Aug 02, 2007 01:19PM
If my TSH and T4 are in the "normal range" (TSH 1.460 and T4 1.24), but my T3 showed Abnormal low (3.26),an d I am displaying symptoms of hypothyroid, can something still be wrong? My doctor already did an ultrasound and it showed negative for enlarged thyroid or nodules. I already have been diagnosed with Rhumatoid Arthritis 5 years ago, and my Rhumatologist and the endocronologist seem stummped from all of the labs and test that have come in so far.

Can I assume that the Ts are FTs?
Whenever I've been tested, I've received results for TSH which should be between 0.30-3.80mU/l and results for free T4 which should be between 7.8-14.4pmol/l
It looks like your T4 could be on the low side too!

Therefore one Labs reference range does not embrace all.
.
Diagnose levels are different than already treated levels. Treated levels (re: AACE) are just target ranges and not 100% law, for we all are different and will not feel the same at the same levels.
Different types of thyroid conditions have different diagnose levels.
How TSH, FT-4 and FT-3 relate to each, states thyroid status.
Knowing the Labs reference range is very helpful in answering most question.
