All lab testing should be seen as part of a process of eventual diagnosis and a treatment plan.   Good lab testing requires great skill in interpretation.  So often lab results are called normal -- or abnormal.  But if you begin to question how the “normal” zones are derived you begin to get a better appreciation of low normal, optimum, high normal and then the true outliers.   The difference between a very low normal thyroid and a slightly abnormally low thyroid are negligible.  But that is how these are so frequently seen: one normal and the second abnormal.  We can do better.
