Subject: patient has Graves hyperthyroidism..he is listing lab values & one the recording because fuzzy..sm

Lab tests done at your office on 08/01/07 indicated a free T4 of 4.36 (0.8 to 1.9), T3 was 390 (72 to 170), and a TSH of less than 0.01.  A WBC count was slightly low at 3.5 (3.9 to 11.3), hemoglobin was 12.5, hematocrit 37.6, _____ of 77 (80 to 102). 


The blank sounds like LEV-IN AND CBU of 77.


??? any thoughts on what lab value this could be based on the normal range of 80 to 102?  thanks.
