Recent blood test results (Was RE: Sudden weight loss, (etc))

[Guest guest]

Thanks. I found some blood test results from 22 December. I was told by the

hospital everything was fine with the results but I do note that some of his

results are right towards the bottome of the reference ranges eg:

WBC was 4.1 (ref 4- 13)

Lymphocytes 1.51 (ref 1.5 -6.8)

I know Tegretol can produce Neutropaenia - so I wonder what is happening with

his WBC.

His thyroid results on 22/12 were

TSH 2.5 (ref 0.35- 5.5)

Free T4 11.9 (ref 10 - 19.8)

In terms of an adult his FT4 is quite low so I wouldn't rule out thyroid. Any sort of stress, from inside and from outside can upset the thyroid. To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Sent:

From what I understand TSH at 2.5 is high, especially for a child.

The TPA-UK group has said that adults with TSH at 2.5 and above will warrant

treatment in many European countries, Andy Cutler has said that ideally TSH for

a child should not be above 1.5 and for an adult not above 2.0 and generally I

believe that around 1.0 is optimum.

Trouble is Kenny they wont treat as long as it doesn't go outof the ref. range - even thenthey'll wait and see and retest to see if it lowers. Fustrating to say the least when symptoms continue but blood tests are judged as ok.
