what do labs mean
by clam26, Mar 31, 2009 05:50PM
Hi there new to forum. I have been having symptoms of hypothyroidism for some time now. I just got more labs done was wondering what they meant.
T UPTAKE 34 Reference 24-39%
T4 FREE 1.40 Reference 1.7-1.7 ng/dl
TSH 6.38 Reference 0.27-5.01 uIU/ml
My doctor suggests .1 mg of synthroid to see if it helps my symptoms.
Any thoughts?

In the future I suggest that you get your doctor to add in testing for free T3, which is the most active component that most affects your metabolism.
