Appendix IV THYROID TABLES Table 1. Individual listing of thyroid abnormalities in Marshallese, 1980. This does not include cases with indiscrete thyroid masses.* Under "Hypofunction," two TSH levels >6 yU/dl were considered positive, except that in presurgical cases one such level was considered positive because only one or a few samples were available for testing; two levels >3 were considered Suggestive.
