Re: Re: TSH testing on RT3 protocol

>Sorry, but what do you mean by " under range " . Shouldn't the FT3 be at the top

of the range? Did you mean RT3?

FT3 top of range

FT4 (Four) under range

pooling? Could you clarify, please?

If TSH goes lower than it ought to be for the FT3 level (ie 0.001 or

so for an amount of T3 that shouldn't do that) then the T3 is in the

serum but failing to get through to the cells.

This is often Cortisol or Ferritin but RT3 itself can also do that

FT4 shows it IS suppressed

not?

TSH shows the body is trying to suppress it but not if it's succeeding

so what to look for in blood work if on some NT (1 grain) and some T3 35 mcg??

ideally would we want a suppressed tsh of no lower than 0.01??

FT3 in upper part of range

and since still on FT4 where do we want that number to fall??

and what about ratio of RT3 /FT3....where would we like that number to be when on combo therapy??>>Did you mean if ft4 is under range, your thyrooid is suppressed?

That sort of area

Or a little over range

Less than half range (often 1.4 so less than that)

>and what about ratio of RT3 /FT3....where would we like that number to be when

on combo therapy??

As low as possible. We don't know how low RT3 needs to be for

receptors to clear. A total unknown I'm afraid.

RT3 in the serum is a marker, RT3 in the receptors is the problem, we

can't measure it, we don't know how low serum needs to be for it to

clear.

We know T3 only leads to clearance
