Interpret my blood test results please! (hypothyroid)

Posted , 2 users are following.

I just received my results back today. I was tested in my family planning clinic so I need to make an appointment with my regular doctor to deal with it. The results make me hypothyroid but I don't know if its just slight or really anything about it. So any insight into my levels much appreciated. Thanks

Free t4: L[b:fed9a5b3ac]7.2 [/b:fed9a5b3ac] pmol/L (10.5 - 22.0)

TSH: H [b:fed9a5b3ac]10.2[/b:fed9a5b3ac] mIU/L (0.27 - 4.2)

    Yep your T4 is to low, should be near the top of the range and your TSH is to high, ideal for hypos is 1 or under. You need to start meds as soon as poss.

    I suggest you google a Thyroid Forum for all the info.
