Low TSH and high FT4 (and FT3) This is the picture of primary hyperthyroidism and, in this context, TSH is usually undetectable (typically <0.03 mU/l for modern ultrasensitive TSH assays). In the UK, Graves’ disease (GD) and toxic multinodular goitre (MNG) are the two most common causes (Fig 1).

18 gru 2023 · The normal range for TSH varies from laboratory to laboratory, but generally, it is 0.4–4 milliunits per liter (mU/l). Levels of 4–10 mU/l are in the above normal range. This usually...
5 wrz 2023 · In some individuals with a low TSH, only the T3 is elevated and the FT4 or FTI is normal. T3 testing rarely is helpful in the hypothyroid patient, since it is the last test to become abnormal. Patients can be severely hypothyroid with a high TSH and low FT4 or FTI, but have a normal T3.
Low TSH and normal T4. Having low TSH levels and normal T4 levels is usually considered subclinical hyperthyroidism. “Subclinical” means the condition doesn’t cause any symptoms or symptoms haven’t yet started. Studies estimate that subclinical hyperthyroidism affects up to 16% of the population.
15 maj 2021 · Low-end normal TSH is 0.4 mIU per L. 2, 5 – 7 The upper-end normal range is from 4.0 to 4.5 mIU per L. 2, 5 – 7 FT 4 level is used to distinguish clinical (low FT 4) from subclinical...
3 paź 2023 · Normal thyroid levels for adults are: TSH: 0.5 to 5.0 mIU/L (milli-international units per liter) Total T4: 5.0 and 12.0μg/dL (micrograms per deciliter) Total T3: 80 and 220 ng/dL (nanograms per deciliter)
9 paź 2024 · Normal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels generally fall between 0.4 and 4.5 milliunits per liter (mU/L). TSH levels higher than 4.5 mU/L usually indicate an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), and low TSH levels—below 0.4 mU/L—indicate an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
