Thyroid Panel Interpreter

Interpret thyroid function tests (TSH, Free T4, Free T3) to identify normal, hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, or subclinical thyroid conditions.

Inputs

mIU/L
ng/dL
pg/mL

Results

Likely Diagnosis

1 (1=Normal, 2=Hypo, 3=Hyper, 4=Subclinical Hypo, 5=Subclinical Hyper)

TSH Status2 (1=Low, 2=Normal, 3=High)
Free T4 Status2 (1=Low, 2=Normal, 3=High)
Free T3 Status2 (1=Low, 2=Normal, 3=High)
How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter TSH (mIU/L), Free T4 (ng/dL), and Free T3 (pg/mL) from the lab report.
  2. Review the interpretation: low TSH + high Free T4 = hyperthyroid; high TSH + low Free T4 = hypothyroid.
  3. Check for subclinical patterns: isolated TSH abnormality with normal free hormones.
  4. Consider Total T3 and T4 if binding protein abnormalities are suspected.
  5. Correlate with clinical symptoms and prior thyroid function tests for trend analysis.

What each input means

TSH
Thyroid-stimulating hormone level (normal 0.4-4.0 mIU/L).
Free T4
Free thyroxine level (normal 0.8-1.8 ng/dL).
Free T3
Free triiodothyronine level (normal 2.3-4.2 pg/mL).

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    TSH = 2.5, Free T4 = 1.2, Free T3 = 3.2 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Likely Diagnosis
    Likely Diagnosis
    1 = 1
  3. Calculate TSH Status
    TSH Status
    2 = 2
  4. Calculate Free T4 Status
    Free T4 Status
    2 = 2
