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.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

Hi doctor, tomorrow my hysterectomy is scheduled and in the pre operative blood test report thyroid has been detected. The doctor advised me to take Thyroxin 50 before coming to the hospital tomorrow. I also take Olmighty 20 mcg daily for hypertension. Could you please suggest if it is a normal procedure to take the thyroid medicine? I am too stressed about it. Any help would be appreciable. Thank you.

My mom has had a lump in her neck for the past 20 years. She does not have any problems with the lump. We showed it to 2 to 3 doctors before, but they said there was nothing to worry about. Yesterday we went to an ENT specialist, and he said that her thyroid is swollen. He prescribed several tests. I am attaching the reports. Please tell me what they mean?
