My son is 11 yrs old. He went to his annual physical and they drew blood. The only results that were off were TSH 4.0, Free T4 (Direct) .88 and ALT (SGPT) 33. What could this mean for him? His Dr. said to come back in 6 months to be checked again. Should I wait that long or do something sooner?
Hello. Thanks for your query. The reports(TSH, Free T4,SGPT) are within normal limit, and it means no need for any interventions right away. You can wait as his doctor advised to repeat the thyroid profile test for detecting thyroid under activity tendency(as free t4-0.88 is lower border normal value and TSH--4.0 nearly upper border normal value). Hope I have answered your query. If any further questions, happy to answer you. Take care.
