The 8 tests in this panel
What each one measures and the range labs usually print for adults. Ranges differ a little between labs, so the range on your own report is the one your result is judged against.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
A hormone from the pituitary gland that tells your thyroid how much hormone to make. It is the test most often ordered first to check your thyroid.
- 11+
- 0.45–4.5 mIU/L
Free T4 (Free Thyroxine)
The unattached, ready-to-use part of thyroxine (T4), the main hormone your thyroid makes. It shows how much thyroid hormone is available to your body.
- 20+
- 0.82–1.77 ng/dL
Free T3 (Free Triiodothyronine)
The unattached, active form of the thyroid hormone T3, which drives how fast your cells use energy. It is usually checked after TSH and free T4.
- 20+
- 2–4.4 pg/mL
Total T4 (Thyroxine)
Measures all the thyroid hormone thyroxine in your blood, both the part attached to carrier proteins and the small free part.
- 20+
- 4.5–12 µg/dL
Total T3 (Triiodothyronine)
Measures all the T3 in your blood, the more active thyroid hormone, including the part attached to carrier proteins.
- 11+
- 71–180 ng/dL
Reverse T3
An inactive by-product of thyroxine (T4). Its usefulness is limited, and an American Thyroid Association review says routine testing is not needed.
- Adults
- 8–25 ng/dL
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO)
Antibodies aimed at an enzyme in the thyroid. They are linked to autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
- 20+
- 0–34 IU/mL
Thyroglobulin Antibodies
Antibodies aimed at thyroglobulin, a protein made in the thyroid. They are linked to autoimmune thyroid conditions and affect thyroglobulin testing.
- Adults
- 0–4 IU/mL
