I will be getting newest results end of week & will post to see any changes.TSH->0.64. Free T4-15.1

MU/L->0.36-5.00 PMOL/L->9.0-21.0

Can someone explain what this means in layman's terms

nmol/L. left blank?

T3. Left blank?

I have put those results into the calculator here:

thyroid.chingkerrs.online/

TSH 0.64 mIU/L (0.36 - 5.00) 6.0%

Free T4 (fT4) 15.1 pmol/L (9 - 21) 50.8%

Your TSH is nearing the bottom of the reference interval (range).

But your FT4 is only halfway through.

Which suggests that you might need an increase in dose. But if you get an increase, your TSH will probably lower and might mean doctors suggest you are over-dosed.

This is a link to a very good article in the British Medical Journal discussing what the 'normal range' really is. Very readable.

The normal range: it is not normal and it is not a range

This blog has the abstract of this paper plus link to the original full paper. Also includes some extra links to a video and some other related information.
