TSH Under .4 can indicate possible hyperthyroidism. Over 6 is considered indicative of hypothyroidism. Note: the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists has revised these guidelines as of early 2003, narrowing the range to .3 to 3.0. So even by the new tighter standards you're well within normal range on you TSH 3rd Generation @ 2.67

T4 / Serum thyroxine Less than 4.5 can be indicative of an underfunctioning thyroid when TSH is also elevated. Over 12.5 can indicate hyperthyroidism. Low T4 with low TSH can sometimes indicate a pituitary problem. So your 7.2 is good.

Free T4 / Free Thyroxine - Less than 0.7 is considered indicative of possible hypothyroidism. Normal range is FT4 0.7 to 2.0

T3 / Serum triiodothyronine 80 to 220is considered normal. Less than 80 can indicate hypothyroidism. so your T3- Uptake at 28.4 could be a red flag

It looks to me like you don't have a thyroid problem. "course I'm NOT a dr... so could be wrong. lol
