Re: Need opinion on this Thyroid test

[Guest guest]

How old is Tim?

(I can't remember if he is your husband or your son)

I put a link in the links section to help to interpret lab tests:

http://www.labcorp.com/pdf/Pediatric_Reference_Ranges_Endocrinology_0981.pdf

The first thing to determine is if the reference ranges given below

are the ones that are suitable for his age.

If he is an adult, then the free T3 and free T4 should (optimally) be

in the top 1/4 to 1/3 of the normal range.
