Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi guys, I have a question about some articles I recently read. One of them said that RT3 is caused by high cortisol. BUt I thought it was caused by low cortisol. The blood results say I am low and the saliva said the opposite. They are posted below. Blood taken at 8A upright Cortisol 19.3 (range 4.6-20.6) Free Cortisol 0.51 (range 0.07-0.93) Saliva results Morning 5.2 (range 3.7-9.5) I guess I consider this low normal Noon 1.2 (1.2-3.0) Evening 0.7 (0.6-1.9) NIght 0.1L (0.4-1.0) Post of these tests were taken in August So logically does that say I am making cortisol but it is not free and it is bound by something and not able to be used? Am I thinking about this right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Never got the answer to this: If you're on HC, and having high serum and urin cortisol, can this make rT3 go up? >One of them said that RT3 is caused by high cortisol.
