Guest guest Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 RT3 is a seporate test all together. https://econolabs.com/tests/search.php I'm not sure how RT3 impacts TSH. I think labs can show low free T3, high FT4 but not always.

I know that rt3 is a separate test, which I have had, but I thought that ft3, rt3 and maybe something else makes up your total t3. If total t3 does not include rt3, then what is total t3? If rt3 is not part of total t3, what makes my total t3 so high in the test results below when my ft3 is not high at all? Here are my test results Free T3 2.3 (1.6 - 5.6) R T3 222 (90 - 350) Total T3 150 (84 - 172) Free T4 1.0 (.8 -1.6) TSH .004 (.40 - 4.5) Thanks, Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
