What do my thyroid test results mean?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I just got my thyroid panel results: TSH is 0.79, FT3 is 2.20, FT4 is 0.65, and TPO is 1.30. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean for my health?
Please help.
Thank you for your support and guidance.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
My thyroid panel came back as:
-
TSH: 0.79
-
Free T3 (FT3): 2.20
-
Free T4 (FT4): 0.65
-
TPO antibodies: 1.30
I’m here to help you interpret these findings.
Thyroid report:
-
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): 0.79
-
Free T3 (Free triiodothyronine): 2.20
-
Free T4 (Free thyroxine): 0.65
-
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies: 1.30
Your Free T4 is low, which may suggest reduced thyroid hormone levels. However, your TSH is not elevated, which is what is typically seen in primary hypothyroidism.
This pattern can occur with central hypothyroidism or other less common thyroid disorders. Further testing is needed to determine the exact cause.
If you have any of the following symptoms:
-
Tiredness or exhaustion
-
Hair loss
-
Constipation
Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
Thank you.
