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.

What disorder is the doctor looking for when ordering blood work for Thyroid Free T3 Free T4?
Thyroid function - Hypothyroidism. A low level of thyroxine and high level of TSH indicate an underactive thyroid.

Is TSH level of 27.03 high?
The "normal range of TSH is 0.3 to 3.0 μIU/mL. A TSH level that is above that range would be considered "high". The pituitary produces TSH to tell the thyroid glands to produce more thyroid hormones. If the thyroid glands to not respond, the pituitary produces greater and greater levels of TSH. A TSH level that high indicates that there is something significantly wrong with the thyroid glands, and the patient should be prescribed thyroid replacement hormones.
Regulation of the release of T3 and T4 from the thyroid gland is controlled by negative feedback?
When the level of the thyroxine increase, the level of the thyroid stimulating hormone decrease. So in turn the level of the thyroid hormone decreases. When the level of the thyroxine decrease, the level of the thyroid stimulating hormone increase. This in turn increase the level of the thyroxine. This explanation does not explain to how the level of the hormone is regulated at that particular level. But then this explanation satisfy most of the people.
What is the meaning of laboratory test?
A thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test is an initial test used to determine how your thyroid is functioning. A high TSH level indicates that the thyroid gland isn't making enough hormones, causing hypothyroidism. Conversely, if the TSH level is low it indicates an overactive thyroid, known as hyperthyroidism. The TSH normal level range that most physicians refer to is .3 to 4.5.
What is the meaning of tsh laboratory test?
A thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test is an initial test used to determine how your thyroid is functioning.

Conversely, if the TSH level is low it indicates an overactive thyroid, known as hyperthyroidism. The TSH normal level range that most physicians refer to is .3 to 4.5.
What does a high TSH and high FSH mean?
A high TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) level typically indicates hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid function. A high FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) level can indicate issues with ovarian function in women or testicular function in men, such as menopause or infertility. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
Will thyroid produce calcitriol when calcium level is above normal?

What could cause your T3 level be extremely high alongside NORMAL TSH and NORMAL T4 levels presented with a thyroid nodule and BOTH hyperthyroid and hypothyroid symptoms?
by definition its unlikely to have BOTH hyper and hypo thyroid symptoms. get an endocrinologist and get a thyroid ultrasound
What is the significance of a high T3 thyroid blood test mean?
According to the American Thyroid Association, T3 (Triiodothyronine) tests are useful in diagnosing hyperthyroidism and the severity of it. This is because patients who are hyperthyroid have an elevated T3 level.
If you have a tsh level of 71 is this bad?
Yes this is very high. The references are 0,35-4,94. It means your thyroid gland is overproducing - hyperthyreoidism
What if your TSH level is high?
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is the signal that the brain sends to the thyroid to tell the thryoid how much hormone to make. Markedly high levels are almost always due to an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Mildly elevated levels are often normal.
