The normal values as given in the following table may vary from lab to lab as T4, T3 and TSH are compared to the reference range. The reference range can vary slightly from one hospital or lab to another.

Most healthy people will have results within the range. If the results show borderline levels, it may indicate a borderline disease. For such patients, the TRH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) test can be useful. The TRH test can tell whether a patient has an underactive, overactive, normal thyroid.
