Thyroid experts: blood test results in

[head2toe]

what do these results mean:


T4 = 5.9 normal range = 4.7-12.2
TSH = 1.27 normal range = .47- 6.90
T uptake = 1.25 normal range = .76 - 1.23



are these good levels? i noticed the T uptake is out of the normal range and does this mean low thyroid levels??

Your TSH is a little to the low side but you cant hardly get better than the #s there. Is it hard for you gain weight? I wish mine looked that good.

Look good to me. My TSH has skyrocketed after using T3 and only just coming back to normal (well high end of normal) and it's been 8 weeks now.

A lower TSH number is better than a higher. Hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland) produces a low TSH value. Hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland) produces an elevated TSH
