Kellogs, your daughter's results don't indicated hyperthyroidism as both TSH and FT4 are comfortably within range.

CRP is low which is good.

High white cell and neutrophils can indicate viral or bacterial infection. Your daughter's are slightly raised and unlikely to be anything of concern.

Low levels of ALP may be seen temporarily after blood transfusions or heart bypass surgery. A deficiency in zinc may cause decreased levels. A rare genetic disorder of bone metabolism called hypophosphatasia can cause severe, protracted low levels of ALP. Malnutrition or protein deficiency as well as Wilson disease could also be possible causes for lowered ALP.

Thankyou for your reply. My daughter has been off school with fatigue suffers from both hot and cold body temps sensitive to light her periods have now stopped she gets very emotional and has trouble concentrating . Now sure wot to think now.

Kellogs, often a slight rise or dip below range isn't indicative of much but it is worth discussing the ALP result with your daughter's GP and questioning why her periods have stopped. I assume she isn't anorexic?
