Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 My sister's last labs came up. RT3 242 (90-350pg/ml) FT3 2.7 (2.5-3.9pg/ml) FT4 0.8 (0.8-1.6ng/dl) Ferritin 34 (11-307ng/ml) Vit D, 25-Hydroxy3 61 (30-100ng/ml) The RT3 is too high, right? And last time her Vit D was really high so she quit it. She needs to go back on iron. Thanks, Dorothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Yes her ratio is 2700/242= 11.15 -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I am wondering why the RT3 is high and the FT4 is not. Does that show something besides not converting T4? Is it just the low ferritin? If so or not should she go on T3 only? > My sister's last labs came up. > > RT3 242 (90-350pg/ml) > FT3 2.7 (2.5-3.9pg/ml) > FT4 0.8 (0.8-1.6ng/dl) > Ferritin 34 (11-307ng/ml) > Vit D, 25-Hydroxy3 61 (30-100ng/ml) > > The RT3 is too high, right? > And last time her Vit D was really high so she quit it. > She needs to go back on iron. > > Thanks, Dorothy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I see MANY labs wher T4 is low and RT3 is high. It just means it is not too much T4 thta is causing the rT3, but I suspect for her, it is the low ferritin. -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 So she should just work on the iron and forget the T3 only for now?

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I would as she would not tolerate T3 well now anyway. Once her Ferritin is around 50-60 then retest thyroid to see if her RT3 has reversed, there is always a possibility it will, if not THEN is when to start T3. -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
