T4 after thyroidectomy

[Inaquandary]

Hi, I had a TT 4.5 years ago. My T4 is 15.2. Is this in the normal range?

Depends what the range is. Ranges vary from lab to lab, so you need the range that is used by the lab where your blood was tested.

I thought you might say that. I was given the results by the receptionist who didn’t have a clue what she was looking at 😒

[greygoose in reply to Inaquandary]

She wrote them out? Always best to ask for a print-out. That way you get all the numbers.

[Inaquandary in reply to greygoose]

No it was over the phone….

[greygoose in reply to Inaquandary]

Ah, that explains it! Not a good way to get your results.

[Inaquandary in reply to greygoose]

It was that way or nothing at all… I’m going in next week so I’ll get them printed off x

[greygoose in reply to Inaquandary]

Well, without the range, it is nothing at all, I'm afraid.
