Results - what do they mean.

Hi All

I have just received some of my bloods results and wondered if anyone could help me as to what they mean.

ESR - result 2 - ref range (6-12)

LH - result 1.6 male range 1.7 - 8.6

FSH - result 2.3 male range 1.5 - 8.6

TSH - result 2.720 - ref range 0.270 - 4.200

Free T4 - result 23.42 - ref range 12 - 22

Although my TSH is in the normal range can my high FT4 suggest I have thyroid issues?

Also I am concerned about my ESR result - does anyone know what this means?

Thank you so much

I'm still new to the thyroid issue but have lots of experience regarding ESR and this shows if you have inflammation in your body such as in rheumatoid arthritis or infection. As yours is below the range, it doesn't indicate that this is the case. Clemmie

Thank you for your reply - I have read that it a below the range reading can suggest anaemia - is this true?

I've never heard of that. Mine are typically always below range and I have spondyloarthritis with inflammation for much of the time. And I have never been anaemic. Clemmie

Thank you for this, it's just I have had no explanation of what a low ESR reading means, so it's all been a bit confusing. Thank you for taking the time to reply.
