iPTH 71.80 pg/ml (14-72)

FT3 4.42 pmol/L (2.5-6.5)

FT4 17.48 pmol/L (11.5-23.2)

TSH 6.02 mIU/l (0.35-5.5)

rT3 0.12 ng/ML (0.2-0.64)

This is actually not low Rt3 it is NORMAL. I also would not call you

hyperparathyroid. It si IN RANGE and not high, just high in range, or probably

normal for you. What i WOULD worry about is your TSH and Free T3.They are

telling you volumes. Free T3 needs to be near the top of it's range for good

health and this is being reflected in your HIGH TSH which is your body;s way of

tell you it needs T3, the active thyroid hormone. With yoiur labs you could

either switch to Armour which conntains T3 or even add T3 to the T4 meds oyu

currently take.
