Fw: Latest blood test results - help please re-post

[Guest guest]

Hi - wondered if this had got lost in the many emails - can someone advise?

Thanks

Hi

These are my latest blood test results, can someone help me with them please? I also noticed that they didn't do a Free T3 test which surprised me as they have done it every other time, so I guess I'll have to have ask them again for that one. (I am taking 2.5 grains of Erfa for a low functioning thyroid due to pap cancer)

Free T4 14.4 pmol/L (10.0-22.0)

TSH 0.01 mU/L (0.10-4.00)

The doc says that I must be over dosing with T4 as my TSH is so low...

Serum C reactive protein level 9.8 mg/L (<10.0)

Liver tests

Serum total bilirubin level 10 umol/L (1-21)

ALT/SGPT serum level 49 u/L (<31)

Hello

- sorry nobody has got back to you but it has all been rather hectic these

last few days.

(I am taking 2.5 grains of

Erfa for a low functioning thyroid due to pap cancer)

I am amazed that free T3

wasn't done as this is important especially as you are taking extra T3 in your

Erfa..

Free T4 14.4 pmol/L (10.0-22.0) This is low in the range, but it might be because it is

converting well into the active T3. We need those results

TSH 0.01 mU/L (0.10-4.00)

This is fine and

where a TSH is expected to be on somebody taking any form of T3. Your doctor

needs to go on a refresher course and do a bit of thyroid research.

Liver

tests

ALT/SGPT

serum

level 49

u/L (<31) HI Check this out on www.labsonline.com

Type in " high ALT/SGPT " into their search engine and you will

information as to the possible causes of this.

Serum

Ferritin 65

ug/L (10-291) - Could be worse, but this is a very wide reference range for a

woman. Your level should be above 90. This reference range looks more for a man

as for a woman it is usually around 20 to 150/200 and for a man 30 to 300.

All

other results seem fine. However, it would have been good to see results for

transferrin saturation%, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper and

zinc. If any of these are low in the reference range, the thyroid hormone

cannot be properly utilised in the cells. Any chance you could get your GP to test

these. Check out the attached document.
