The number you have given is an incomplete question. There are many tests used to find thyroid dysfunction, and all their numbers and normals will be different.

When looking at your lab sheet, there will be a test name, a *normal* value, and your result. Use the two numbers to help you compare to see if they are within normal values. Use the name to create discussion about your results.

*HINT* Thyroid normal values on a lab slip will not necessarily be YOUR normal value. Physicians look at the number and your symptoms to determine treatment. Both must be considered equally.
