I'm concerned about the results of the blood tests, even though they are within the laboratory norm.
Good morning.
I'm 22 years old, I'm a woman. I'm concerned about the results of the blood tests. Even though they are within the laboratory standard, is it a functional standard?
TSH 3,240 mlU/L
Ferritin 29 ng/ml

It is difficult to offer a specific answer based on such a short description.
The reference values for the different parameters may vary slightly from laboratory to laboratory. Your TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and ferritin values are within the general reference ranges, but it is worth noting that the interpretation of blood test results should take into account the clinical context and the individual needs of the patient.
As for TSH, some doctors prefer to keep TSH levels in a lower reference range (e.g., below 2.5 mlU/L) in some patients, especially if there are symptoms related to improper thyroid function.
A ferritin value of 29 ng/ml is within the reference range.
The term "functional norms" can be found in various scientific publications referring to individual disease entities. The optimal range in which the result should be is a little narrower than the laboratory norms and indicates that the body is in the right condition. This range is used to assess the risk of the disease in its early stages or before its full symptoms appear.
If you have concerns about your health or test results, it is always recommended to consult your doctor. Your doctor can perform a full clinical assessment, taking into account your symptoms, health history, and other factors that may affect the interpretation of test results.
