Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I'm confused again could someone help me understand why my endo. increased my synthroid today. I was taking 100mg. 1xday and now he want me to take 112mg 1xday. I know it's not much of a change but was still alittle confused. I got copies of my last two lab reports I hope that I do this right. The first one was on 4/30/03 T-4 free 0.4 L out of range. TSH 94 H out of range. T3 free 122L out of range. This is my new one done on 6/23/03 T-4 free 1.2 In range. TSH 4033 In range.T3 free 289 In range. Thanks to all. Kim H. RAI Feb.03 went hypo 5/03 am taking synthroid 112mg 1xday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Both thyroid hormone levels, FT4 and FT3, are on the low side. I'm not sure what your TSH was, but if that was 4.03, it's not truly in range. While many labs have not changed their ranges, the AACE recommends using a range of 0.3-.304 mu/L for TSH. Studies show that levels higher than 2.0 suggest a move into hypothyroidism. Take care, Elaien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
