I am not sure. When i calledthey told me that the level was 33.4 and that it was too high. Thy also sent me right away for an mri of the pituitary gland. Everywhere i read said that they typically ck ur readings couple times prior to an mri. This is why im concerned. I have also read that anything above 20 is high but on the other hand i have also read that anything below 26 or even 29 is normal. Im just confused.

Hi,

it really depends on the units used and the reference range of the lab.

Do you have the report?  What are the reference ranges shown.
