What Does This Thyroid Test Report Indicate?
Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
I have reviewed the report.
In pregnancy, the protein concentration of the body is altered and hence the T3 and T4 levels are falsely raised.
Hence, in a pregnant hypothyroid patient, thyroid levels are monitored by TSH and free T4 levels.
Since your wife's TSH levels are less than 3.5 ( upper limit in pregnancy), there is nothing to worry and she should continue the same dose of thyronorm.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
