Test Results help needed please

[Guest guest]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on the test results I have

just had back please. I am not on any medication at the moment gp said it was overactive and because of symptons not getting any better after nearly two years, he said he would try and get hold of a junior registrar at hospital to see if he can give me carbizamole. I do not understand any of this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Serum free trilodothyronine level 5.7 pmol/l range (3.61-6.8 U)

Serum free T4 Level 15.7 pmol/l range (12.0-22.O U)

Serum TSH Level 0.060 mu/l range (0.27-4.2 U)

Thyroid peroxidase antibody level <20 IU/ml Range (<100 U)

Many thanks for reading.

Hello Easha

How long have you been with this doctor?? You need to run a mile

away from him, because with recommendations like he is giving you, he will only

cause you worsening health.

Your free T3 level is in the upper third of the reference range

which is where it is supposed to be. It is not outside the upper level. Your

free T4 is also OK. If you were hyperthyroid and in need of Carbizamole, both

your free T4 and free T3 would be well above the top of their respective

reference ranges. A GP should NOT decide that you are suffering with

hyperthyroidism just by looking at your TSH only - and why refer you to a

junior registrar and not to an endocrinologist?

What symptoms are you experiencing and what signs are you

showing. Check yours against those in our web site www.tpa-uk.org.uk under 'Hypothyroidism' in

the Menu. Also, check out the symptoms and signs under 'Hyperthyroidism' and

see which one you feel you belong to.
