The T4 blood test measures the level of thyroxine, a hormone produced by the thyroid gland, which plays a vital role in metabolism, energy regulation, and overall bodily functions. The T4 normal range for adults typically falls between 5.0 to 12.0 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL) for total T4 and 0.8 to 2.8 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) for free T4. Abnormal T4 levels can indicate thyroid disorders. Higher levels may suggest hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), while lower levels may point to hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). The thyroid T4 normal range is an essential parameter for diagnosing and managing thyroid-related conditions.

Lab report 22 Oct shows T3 is 1.99, T4 is 10.75, and TSH is 5.74. Can we proceed for pregnancy or do we need to cure thyroid first before pregnancy? Please prescribe medication. Is any other test necessary before pregnancy?

I was diagnosed with geographic tongue in July 2019. My Vitamin B12 was low, and I took medicines for that, but the geographic tongue did not go away. I also had burning while urinating, which was diagnosed as chronic prostatitis, and I was given multiple courses of antibiotics. Currently, I am facing skin itching that was diagnosed as chronic urticaria. I do not get hives; the skin just turns red and then becomes normal after some time. I was advised to take Levosiz 5 mg, which relieves the itching for 2 to 3 days, but the problem comes back, so I need to take the medicine repeatedly. Recently, I was advised to get my thyroid profile checked. My T3 and T4 are normal, but TSH is 22.46. My HbA1c is 6.2, ESR is 7, TLC is 5.21, and RBC is 5.30. I started thyroxine 50 mg two weeks ago. My age is 36 and my weight is 93 kg. Could you please suggest what should be done next, and which specialist I should consult?
