Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hi Nanci, No, it is not normal to have ANY antibodies, however, I would call and ask the lab whether your result means (1) you have antibodies but less than 10 they can't give accurate number or don't bother to OR (2) the lab isn't able to detect antibodies if they are so tiny it less than 10, which could mean you don't have any, if you see the difference. Sadly, some labs simply can't detect if numbers are too low. I think these stupid labs with the < as a RANGE don't even bother to give actual numbers, be it 0 or 5. Sad.

I think that's the technical limit of the lab, they can't measure if it's less than 10 Nick -- for more information on RT3 and Thyroid Resistance go to www.thyroid-rt3.com For lots of good information of adrenal issues http://www.nthadrenalsweb.com/ and the adrenal group on http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 That's what I think, too, but then it sort of makes the test useless, doesn't it?! I mean, you COULD have a value of 5, but the lab can't detect it. I recently had this issue testing ft4. At one lab it came back as .2. After I'd been on increased dose, I retested thyroid panel at a different lab. ft3 was higher as expected, but ft4 came back a <.3. So I can only ASSUME that my ft4 is even lower now on the higher amount of cynomel, but I really have no idea.
