Re: Tami/Was: Re: hypothyroidism from birth?

[Guest guest]

Tami,

Make sure you get the Free T3, Free T4 and Tsh, nothing else will tell you

anything. I know lots of people, us included, who had to get this test repeated

twice to get the appropriate tests.

And do not go by the ref range on the lab test, these are for adults. When you

get your ranges ask here for the correct pediatric ref ranges and someone can

help you. You want the Free T3 in the upper third of the correct pediatric ref

range, just a little lower does make a world of difference.

Also the values were recently changed. Make sure the lab you are using is

quoting current values, and as mentioned they are for pediatric

evaluation.

My doc always pulls the labs twice. It's amazing to see the differences

sometimes....same person, within two weeks the numbers can be dramatically

different. Probably foolish, but I attribute it to lab error.
