These are my lab test results
Do these results indicate hypothyrodism or hyperthyroidism?

Me Low High
TSH 1.31 0.45 4.5
T4 (Thyroxine) 5.1 4.5 12
T3 Uptake 30 24 39
Free Thyroxine index 1.5 1.2 4.9

These tests were not run. Should they be run?
Free T3
Total T3

Thank you

They actually look fairly normal, if you have no symptoms. But yes you do need to run a Free T3, Reverse T3, and antibody tests in addition to the tests youve run. No need for Total T3, thats the same as T3 uptake, the total bound to protein. Free T3 is serum level and whats needed to accurately diagnose a condition.

Any symptoms?

Your results are all normal. In the absence of symptoms, I'd say no further testing is needed.
