Re: Please help!...RT3-T3 conversion

[Guest guest]

As far as I know it's necessary to have a Free T3, Free T4, RT3 and TSH blood work test in order to see the RT3. It doesn't show up on anything else. Some doctors (calculate) from

testing without the RT3, but I personally think it's better to actually see it.

I'm completely confused on how to convert to see if I have an excessive RT3 problem due to years of Synthroid treatment, etc. I have Hashimotos after RAI treatment for Hyperthyroidism 10 yrs ago.My last lab results:TSH 5.20 (.40-4.50 RANGE)THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES 51 (LESS THAN 35 IU/mL RANGE)T3/FREE 235 (230-420 pg/dL RANGE)REV.T3 35 (11-32 ng/dL RANGE)I have not been tested for adrenal fatigue, but have most of the symptoms. Any advice would be a blessing and appreciated more than you know!I also don't know order of action to take; I am completely miserable and at the end of my rope...------------------------------------We are not medical professionals here, just patients sharing our experiences.

T3/FREE 235 (230-420 pg/dL RANGE)

REV.T3 35 (11-32 ng/dL RANGE)

This si what you need ot knwo to knwo if ther is an RT3 [roblem. First YES you

do have one ANY time the RT3 is over it's rnge without a doubt. But aside form

that you divide the FT3 by the RT3 to get a ratio this would be 235/35=6.71 and

it shoudl be at least 20 or preferably higher so you have a BAD Rt3 issue.
