A deficiency in thy can lead to a slower metabolism in your body and cause health problems such as obesity, joint pain, feeling cold easily, poor memory, and slow response.
TSH, T3, and T4 level tests are a direct way to determine if you have thy deficient . Typical adult limits for these hormones are:
TSH: 0.45 – 4.50 UIU/mL
FT3: 2.5 – 6.0 pmol/L
FT4: 9 – 19 pmol/L
TT3: 1.2 – 3.2 nmol/L
TT4: 65 – 155 nmol/L
T4: 0.82 – 1.77 ng/L;
T3: 71 – 180 ng/L.
Of course, you can check your symptoms and compare them to the symptoms listed on our webpage. If you have two or more of the symptoms we list, you may have thy deficient and should see a doctor for further examination.
