Hi,

As usual only the result has been given- you will need to go back and ask

what the range is for each result- the kit does vary and therefore so does the

range.

As for testing it is best not to take any T3 containing meds incl ERFA for 24

hours beofre test- so the night before's dose may have affected your result.-

the T3 looks a bit high which is probably for this reason.TSh is always zero

when enough T3 is taken.

Hi Ali

Every blood, urine, saliva test that pathologies do for us have

a reference range. e.g. TSH usually has a reference range in the UK somewhere

within the region of 0.5 to 5.0, and a TSH level is best if it is around say,

1.0. Free T4 usually has a reference range of around 9.0 to 22.0, and if you

have not been diagnosed so not taking any thyroid hormone replacement, your

level should be just over the middle of the reference range, e.g. around 16/17.

However, if you have been diagnosed and you are taking thyroid hormone

replacement, your free T4 should be in the upper third of the reference range.

Free T3 (the ACTIVE thyroid hormone) should be in the upper third of the

reference range, whether you are taking thyroid hormone replacement or not. The

T3 ref. range is somewhere in the region of 3.5 to 7.0 or thereabouts.

Every laboratory throughout the country uses different 'kits' to

test the different thyroid hormones, and each 'kit' has it's own specific ref.

range. This is why we ask you what your particular reference ranges are for the

different tests.

You could also telephone your local hospital and ask to be put

through to the pathology department. Then ask what their reference ranges are

for YSH, free T4 and free T3.

Go on - tell me that all this is now as clear as mud to you

*grin*.
