What do these blood results mean?

[Criswalter]

Hi,
I had a blood test done because I started shaking, (hands and legs).  My Free T4 and Free T3 levels are out of normal range.  Can you please tell me what these numbers mean and should I call my doctor and not wait for him to call me?
Free T4 : 88.2
Free T3: 37.1
TSH: 0.01
Thank you.
Cristina

I'd just like you to verify first that your FT3 is 37.1 and your FT4 is 88.2.

If so, yes, call your doctor.  Your FT3 and FT4 levels are extremely high.  I'm sure your doctor will want to start you on anti-thyroid meds and/or retest FT3, FT4 and TSH.

HI,
ref range for free T4 is 12-22, and T3 is 2.8 to 7.1.
thanks for your help.

Depending on the reference ranges ( please post them) of the Free T3 and Free T4 labs you could be hyperthyroid in a sense.

Can you post these reference ranges off the lab sheet you are reading the results from?

Thanks

Yes, call. Listen to your instincts and be proactive!
