I recently had a thyroid function test (T3, T4, and TSH) done, but I am not sure how to interpret the results. My report shows T3: 0.52 ng/mL, T4: 4.70 microgram/dL, and TSH: 2.36 microIU/mL. Could you please tell me if these results indicate a thyroid problem or if they are within the normal range?

TSH is normal. T3 is mildly low, T4 slightly low. It may suggest early or subclinical hypothyroidism. Repeat after 3 to 6 weeks.

Take a THYROID PROFILE TOTAL (T3, T4, TSH) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

Question

I recently had a T3, T4, and TSH test. I am currently taking 25 mcg of Thyronorm daily. My test results are: T3: 0.860 ng/mL T4: 5.19 microg/dL TSH (Ultra): 6.41 microIU/mL Please advise what dosage of thyroid medication I should continue with.

Question

I was diagnosed with thyroid issues during pregnancy. I delivered in March, and one month later, my TSH was 6.32. My doctor advised me to continue Thyronorm for the next 3 months. Two days ago, I rechecked my thyroid, and my TSH has doubled. I am concerned about whether this will affect my baby, as I am breastfeeding. I have read that thyroid levels can affect a baby IQ, is this true?

Question

Hello sir, I have been taking Thyrox 50 for the past three months. I have sent my latest report. Please review it and advise whether I should continue the medication or if it can be stopped.
