T3- 2.7 ng/mL
T4- 11.1 mcg/mL

You probably will be look at more like a sub clinical hypothyroid case for many doctors than classically "hypo"

The TSH ranges of many doctors still go by old labs reference ranges which are anywhere from .35 to about 5.5 - but since the new range of .3 to 3.0 has been done - you can see you are just above the new maximium TSh level of hypothyroidism.

It to me - looks like your conversion ratios are off a bit too on the T4 converting into the T3

I think it would be best to have further testing on the Free T3 and the Free t4 tests.

Do you have the reference ranges on your labs to post ?

hello,

Your TSH is raised so would indicate you may be hypothyroid, Anything above 3.0 could make you hypo, ideal ranges (so I am told) are 1.0 to 2.0 TSH.

Tour T4 looks slightly low too but I know much less about that I am afraid as I am newly diagnosed and have been learning myself thanks to the kindness of others in this forum helping me out!

My TSH was 5.2 and I am hypo, am now on levothyroxine.

What did your Dr say? What are your symptoms?
