Quick question on T4 replacement.

[Guest guest]

Hi,When you are on T4 replacement. I know that the FT4 needs to be top to the range to get good results. Whereabouts would FT3 need to be in its range for you to feel better? Or does it not matter as T4 is doing what it needs to do? Thanks in advance Jas

For anybody on thyroid hormone replacement the free T4 should

be in the upper third of the reference range and the free T3 should also be in

the upper third of the reference range. However, for those a taking T3 hormone

product, either synthetic or natural, the free T4 is usually just around the

middle of the reference range and the free T3 would be well into the upper

third of the range.
