Interpretation of thyroid function tests and their relationship to iodine nutrition: changes in TSH, free T4, and free T3 resulting from iodine deficiency and iodine excess. In: Preedy VR, Burrow GN, Watson RR, editors. Comprehensive handbook of iodine: nutritional, biochemical, pathological and ...
TSH levels decline rapidly during the first week of life in most children, but may remain transiently elevated in a few individuals despite normal free T4 levels. For proper interpretation of an abnormal TSH from a newborn thyroid screen, a Free T4 by Dialysis (test code 35167) or Tot...

Tsai:Our primary care colleagues can do a workup and interpretation of thyroid function tests in most cases. In the situations where the thyroid function test results are discordant (ie, elevated TSH and elevated free T4 levels or low TSH and low free T4 levels) or difficult to interpret, i...
The relationship between thyroid-related hormones and dementia is controversial, especially regarding TSH (whether outside or within the normal range)7,8,9,10. According to laboratory tests, thyroid dysfunction can be classified as overt, with both abnormal TSH and free T4 (FT4) levels, or as ...

Interpretation Higher TSH and lower FT4 in this euthyroid sample were associated with higher operative delivery rates. However, TSH and FT4 were still in the normal ranges for all groups. In a large retrospective cohort study from Männistö et al. increased odds for CS (both prelabour and...
Participants were included based on T4 within the reference range and TSH either within (euthyroid; n=15) or above (subclinical hypothyroidism; n=20) the laboratory reference range on two independent blood samplings before inclusion. Exclusion criteria were known thyroid disease or use of thyroid ...
We recommend re-evaluation for interpretation of pituitary hypothalamic axis by TSH results when FT4 is abnormally high in oncology patients or low in non-oncology patients, due to poor predictability and the potential for misdiagnosis. A better understanding of the complex natur...
Conclusion: Heightened awareness of the potential for multiple situations to cause inaccurate assessment of free thyroid hormone concentrations using different immunoassays will allow for interpretation of anomalous thyroid function results with such confounding factors in mind. With this knowledge, prevention ...
