What does this thyroid test report indicate?
Patient: Hello Doctor, We have got thyroid test done for our 8 months old son. The report is as follows: FT3 (Free Triiodothryronine) 4.06 pg/ml 1.71 -3.71 FT4 (Free Thyroxine) 1.01 ng/dl 0.70 - 1.48 TSH (THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE) 1.38 uIU/ml 1.0 - 39.0 Does the high level of FT3 alarming? Please suggest Thanks Doctor: HelloI won't get worried as TSH and free T4 levels are within normal limit.T3 is a derivative of T4 and mildly raised T3 does not has any significance.I suggest you to get a repeat test done after after 1-2 months.Regards
