Normal Ranges

With the Honest Explanation

Reference ranges vary between laboratories. This is not a quality issue — it is because each lab calibrates its instruments and methods using different populations, reagents, and equipment. A result of 5.5 at one lab may show as slightly different at another. What matters is: (1) always using the same lab for serial monitoring, (2) understanding your trend over time, not just one reading. Gini's ranges are calibrated on our specific instruments and validated monthly against international reference samples. Read the full explanation →

Result	Range	Clinical Meaning
Normal	0.4–4.0 mIU/L	Normal thyroid function
Subclinical hypothyroid	4.0–10 mIU/L	Mildly underactive — symptoms vary, treatment decision individualised
Hypothyroid	Above 10 mIU/L	Underactive thyroid — levothyroxine usually needed
Hyperthyroid	Below 0.4 mIU/L	Overactive thyroid — needs further investigation

Indian-Specific Context

India has one of the world's highest rates of thyroid disease. Subclinical hypothyroidism (TSH 4–10) is extremely common and often missed. Some experts recommend a lower upper limit of 2.5–3.0 for certain populations (pregnant women, those trying to conceive). Dr. Bhansali interprets TSH in full clinical context.

Result Interpretation

What Your Result Means

If Your Result Is High

If Your Result Is Low

Price & Why Accuracy Matters

More Than a Lab — A Hospital Lab

Gini's TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) costs ₹200. Budget standalone labs charge less. The difference is not just equipment — it is what happens when your result is abnormal.

At a standalone lab, you get a report. At Gini, if your TSH is significantly abnormal, our team flags it to Dr. Anil Bhansali's office. You are not alone with a concerning number.

This is what a hospital lab means vs a standalone diagnostic centre. More on Gini's lab quality →
