T3-T4 Testing versus TSH testing?

Answer

TSH is commonly accepted today as the first-line diagnostic test for overall thyroid function. In general, a normal TSH level (0.3-4.5) indicates normal thyroid function. If the TSH is high or low, then T4 and T3 (and their "free" forms, FT4 and FT3) are evaluated to narrow the diagnosis.
