Hi Everyone....

I have a quick question. Can someone explain to me a couple of things regarding test results? Ok what is the difference between free t3 , t4 and regular t3 t4? What is considered normal ranges in all? I know TSH is .03-3.0 but the rest is throwing me. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Trish,


This link won't help too much but it has a partial listing of the test values:

Wikipedia has:

Thanks Calley.... every little bit helps! I find all of this message board very rewarding partly just by knowing I'm not alone and the other obviously from the info I receive. Have a great day!
