"A principle is a principle, and in no case can it be watered down because of our incapacity to live it in practice. We have to strive to achieve it, and the striving should be conscious, deliberate and hard." -Gandhi

SENIOR SCREEN  : T4

Test Result Reference Range Low Normal High T4 1 1.4 1.0 - 4.0 ug/dL       Comments: 1. Interpretive ranges: <1.0 Low 1.0-4.0 Normal >4.0 High 2.1-5.4 Therapeutic Dogs with no clinical signs of hypothyroidism and results within the normal reference range are likely euthyroid. Dogs with low T4 concentrations may be hypothyroid or "euthyroid sick". Occasionally, hypothyroid dogs can have T4 concentrations that are low normal. Dogs with clinical signs of hypothyroidism and low or low normal T4 concentrations may be evaluated further by submission of free T4 and canine TSH. A high T4 concentration in a clinically normal dog is likely variation of normal; however elevations may occur secondary to thyroid autoantibodies or rarely thyroid neoplasia. For dogs on thyroid supplement, acceptable 4-6 hour post pill total T4 concentrations generally fall within the higher end or slightly above the reference range.
