» station26 - Thyroid test

In response to Thyroid test posted by daisyelaine:


Thank you Elaine for this clear description. I may need to run the test again considering it is borderline. My TSH level is actually 4.14 using a reference range of .4 to 4.0. Interestingly, I have "hyper" symptoms, not "hypo" symptoms. And my TSI is right on 1.3. So, I don't know if further investigation is warranted but I would assume that if it's 3rd generation, it must be highly sensitive and the test probably wouldn't be a false positive? (My T3 is normal but a T4 and other antibody tests were not performed. FSH, LH & Testosterone are all normal too.)
