Thyroid Lab results worries me

[Guest guest]

hello sir/madam

I am 29 years old.. just casually I have tested my thyroid tests at lab,

My results are

T3 (triidothyronine) - 1.70 ng/ml (normal up to 1.8)

T4 ( Total Thyroxine) - 11.24 ug/dL (normal up to 12.5)

TSH - (Thyroid stimulating Hormone) : 1.96 mlU/ml

I really dont know about the thyroid disorders.. after seeing my result i am

really afraid by seeing my T3 and T4 are some what near to the border of normal

figures.

Should I really think about my thyroid or I am unnecessary worrying about this

issue..

Please suggest me..

actually i am very much worried because while searching some information on net,

the T4 normal value is 11 (but whereas my T4 level is crossed to 11.24).

I am really afraid of thyroid.

Your tests are fine. Ignore what you read on the web. Each lab uses a different range to measure these tests. Your result is fine and well within the upper range of the tests you took.

If you want the most accurate thyroid tests, you would want to have your FreeT3 and FreeT4 measured. TSH is not a good thyroid test and I wouldn’t bother with it. But again, for the tests you had taken, your ranges are fine.

Best,
