2 months ago I had these lab results:
TPO: 519 (should be less than 35)
T4 free 1.2 (should be between 0.8 and 1.8)
T3 total 80 (should be between 76-181)
T3 uptake 35 (should be between 22-35%)
Tsh .93

Last week I ordered additional tests:
T3 free 2.8 (should be 2.3-4.2)
Thyroglobin antibodies <20 (should be <20)
THYROGLOBIN 137 (should be 2.0-35.0)

What does this all mean? My T3 and T4 seem fine...my tsh was on the "lower" end a few months ago...but now this high thyroglobin showed up. I am not on any medication, i have never had a thyroid ultrasound. I had a goiter 2 months ago, but it went away. What do I have? I keep hearing autoimmune disease, hashimotos etc but my t3, t4 and tsh are fine. I don't understand?????

Hi,
Your TSH is a little bit low, which according to my own personal experience indicates hyper thyroidism.
If you don't have any thyroid symptoms, the best thing to do is to keep monitoring your TSH.
The thyroglobulin is not an antibodies test, it tests the amount of thyroglobulin protein, however, your TPOab is elevated, this can indicate Hashimoto or graves autoimmune disease, it worth mentioning however that TPOab can be present with other conditions.

Best,
