Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I have been over at the adrenals group and am thinking this actually may be a better place to ask some of these questions, so I have pasted the question and 1st Val's answer here. I'm new to this game so need all the details I can get! Thanks in advance! Questions: If I am on 3.25 gr of NDT now, how much T3 only should I be taking to begin this fix? How long does someone have to stay on T3 only to change these lab values? My most recently labs FT4 - 1.03 (0.6-1.61 ng/dL) FT3 -4.36 (2.3-4.2 pg/mL) Rev T3 - 19 (11 to 32 ng/dL) FT3 to Rev T3 Ratio = 22.95 This is all new for me and so I really appreciate the input! Michele (NoCal) What Val answered originally... > Your FT3/RT3 ratio is 22.9 Good ratio is supposed to be over 20 but best is 50+. With ferritin where yours is, more T4 added to this lab to bring it to normal good levels will create a worse RT3 ratio not better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
