T4, 2μg/dL; T3, 35ng/dL; TSH,45μIU/mL.
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】Normal thyroid function tests are as follows: T4, 5 to 12 μg/dL; T3, 65 to 195 μg/dL; TSH 0.3 to 5.4μIU/mL. With Hashimoto's thyroiditis, T4 and T3 levels are typically subnormal and TSH is elevated. With primary hyperthyroidism, T4 and T3 levels are elevated and TSH is subnormal (options A and B). With hypothyroidism, T4 is subnormal and T3 and TSH levels are elevated (option C).
