Labs results.......I don't get it.

[Guest guest]

I was just put on Armour 1 1/2 weeks ago. I had to almost beg my doc

for it. I would like to post my lab results and I hope someone will

let me know if the ranges are correct. I thought the TSH range was

..3 to 3.0.

units Range

FT4 1.23 ng/dL [0.71 - 1.85]

TSH 3.10 uIU/ml [0.49 - 5.07]

T3Uptake 31 % [22-35]

T4(Thyroxine) Total 8.7 mcg/dL [4.5 - 12.5]

Free t4 Index(T7) 2.7 [1.4 - 3.8]

I don't know what these mean. I've looked on the web but can't seem

to find the same tests.

I can't really help you on the labs other than the TSH

and Free T4, but I will tell you that you are right

about the ranges for TSH. They are now 0.3 to 3.0

with anything over 2.0 needing further testing. You

really need the Free T3 number so you can tell if your

body is converting the T4 to T3 for you to use and

your free T4 could be a little higher. You aren't

quite at mid level and would probably feel better a

lot closer to the upper end of the range. I didn't

have to fight with my doc over the Armour, but I do

have to argue with him over the blood work.
