BIOCHEMISTRY REPORT
Thyroid Profile Total
TRIIODOTHYRONINE ( T3 ) 149 ng/dL 80 - 200
Method : ECLIA
TOTAL THYROXINE ( T4 ) 7.45 µg/dL 4.5 - 11.7
Method : ECLIA
THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (Ultrasensitive) 6.19 mIU/L 0.27 - 4.20
Method : ECLIA
Interpretation:
Primary malfunction of the thyroid gland may result in excessive (hyper) or below normal (hypo) release of T3 or T4. In addition as TSH directly
affects thyroid function, malfunction of the pituitary or the hypo - thalamus influences the thyroid gland activity. Disease in any portion of the
thyroid-pitutary-hypothala- mus system may influence the levels of T3 and T4 in the blood. In primary hypothyroidism, TSH levels are
significantly elevated, while in secondary and tertiary hypothyroidism, TSH levels may be low. In addition, in the Euthyroid Sick Syndrome,
multiple alterations in serum thyroid function test findings have been recognized in patients with a wide variety of non-thyroidal illnesses (NTI)
without evidence of preexisting thyroid or hypothalami c-pitutary diseases. Thyroid Binding Globulin (TBG) concentrations remain relatively
constant in healthy individuals. However, pregnancy, excess estrogen's, androgen's, antibiotic steroids and glucocorticoids are known to alter
TBG levels and may cause false thyroid values for Total T3 and T4 tests.
