Hello. I need some help understanding these results. Test was done at 2:30 in the afternoon.
50 yo female, with a 5 mm thyroid nodule on left lobe with classic hypothyroid symptoms (tired, cold, joint and muscle pain, thinning hair, depressed mood, constipation).
MD says results are normal.
TSH 1.65 mIU/L (0.32 - 4.00) 36.1% reference range
Free T4 (fT4) 10 pmol/L (9 - 19) 10.0% of reference range
Free T3 (fT3) 3.4 pmol/L (2.6 - 5.8) 25.0% of reference range
T4:T3 Ratio 2.941
TPO antibodies <9 (<35) kIU/L
Limited nutrient analysis available:
Ferritin 23 (15-272)
Hb (118 (120-160)
Hct 0.353 (0.350-0.450)
B12 460 (138-652)
QUESTION: what are the optimal ranges (in percentage through the reference range) for fTs and fT4 for someone not on any medication?
Once I understand this better, if it could help, I will find a clinician in Canada to refer to.
Thanks!
