www.thyroid-rt3.com/howisit.htm: page is vague

[Guest guest]

Val or Nick,

Could you please correct the page www.thyroid-rt3.com/howisit.htm to be less

vague. The problem is that this page does not explain what units and multiplier

the patient should be using to compute the FT3/rT3 ratio.

For instance, my labs of March 23 were:

FT3=4.57 pg/ml

rT3=5.6 ng/dl=56 pg/ml

With these values expressed in pg/ml, I think I am supposed to compute

(4.57*1000)/56 = 81, but the page doesn't explain about the multiplier, which I

believe is 1000 when units are all pg/ml.

Thanks.
