Newbie and At my wits end :0(

My son (13 years old) and I have been having blood test, I really don't understand what the results all mean and my Dr and his keep telling us different things and say we have nothing to worry about.

I wanted to post what the results showed, but I'm not sure what Ines are for what. Any help advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, thank you for your reply Clutter results are as follows, I do not understand any of it.

Sons results are - Dec 2015

Serum free T4 10.8 pmol/L (9.00-24.00 pmol/L)

Serum TSH 3.7 mu/L (0.35-5.00 mu/L)

Also states TSH + FT4 normal no action

Dec 2016

Serum free T4 11.3 pmol/L (9.00-24.00 pmol/L)

Serum TSH 5.5 mu/L (0.35-5.00 mu/L)

Also states TSH + FT4 Abnormal Results Needs further tests - TFT? then it states serum TSH satisfactory (normal for this patient no action)

Feb 2017

Serum free T4 12.3 pmol/L (9.00-24.00 pmol/L)

Serum TSH 2.7 mu/L (0.35-5.00 mu/L)

Also states normal no action.

Se thyroid peroxidase Ab conc 63 iu/ml (0.00-50.00 iu/ml)

(Abnormal needs rpt TFT in 3/12 - borderline TFT)

On another part of the Feb 2017 test it states Full blood count abnormal needs further tests ferretin/B12/folic acidnormocytic anaemia?

My own results are

Dec 2016

Serum free T4 11.5 pmol/L (9.00-24.00 pmol/L)

Serum TSH 6.6 mu/L (0.35-5.00 mu/L)

Also states T4 level normal no action and TSH abnormal needs repeat test in 3/12 and consider anti-TPOAb

This has happened a few times over the years, I am always told everything is normal and retest in a year.

Also my Haematocrit is 0.36 ratio (0.37-0.47 ratio) I don't know what this is.

I hope this is ok to post and makes sense to someone, thank you so much for any help.
