Hello everyone, I need help to interpret my daughter's (12 years old) blood test
ATPO 0.63 IU/mL
FT4 0.61 ng/dL
TSH 1.60 µUI/ml
She had an ultrasound earlier this month and the doctor diagnosed her with thyroiditis based on the multiple small cysts and nodules she found in the thyroid, a few millimeters each.
Normally I would have done other blood work according to Peat but I went with the doctor's advice for this one and I know it may be insufficient but I am not sure even what are the romal ranges for children 12 years old.

Any advice is welcome, either concerning the normal range, what other blood tests I should try to convince the doctor to take or any advice on treatment.

Thank you

I wrote Dr Peat this evening after another 10 days of crazy menstrual bleeding from my daughter. I hope my e-mail will go through. I am very worried.
