Hi,

I will rather suggest that you upload the entire report. The normal range varies from one laboratory to the other and should be clearly noted on it.

I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
Control this test in two months!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the attached report.

This is clearly out of the normal range and raises a legitimate question. However, other values are in the normal range and unless this child has XXXXXXX symptoms of low functioning thyroid like dry skin, constipation, not very active, etc., I will not act on them immediate. I will rather suggest that you stay calm and get the results controlled in two months.

Keep me updated about it. I wish you well.
