Ferritin,folate blood results.

[redted]

Bone profile. Low vitD,discuss supplements.

Urea and electrolytes. Abnormal,contact patient.

Everything else No action required.

Doctor going to ring me on Monday,she does not work Friday's.

Can anyone explain what if any of these results have on an underactive thyroid please.

[Clutter]

Redted, low vitD is common in hypothyroid patients. Take vitD 4 hours away from Levothyroxine as it can affect uptake.

U&E is to do with kidney function. If you're undermedicated on Levothyroxine this can cause low kidney function.

Ahhhh,thank you,will report back after my phone call with my Doctor on Monday.

[Clutter in reply to redted]

Redted, make sure you get the vitD result from your GP and we'll advise how much to supplement.

[redted]

Is it the serum vitaminD 16nmol/L

Change of reference as from 19/6/14

Less than 15nmol/L severe

15 to 30 deficient

30 to 50, May be inadequate in some people.

50nmol/L sufficient for almost the whole population.

Redted, use the orange Reply tab when you respond to a post and the member will be sent an email and on-site notification that you've replied.

Your vitD is deficient. VitD 75-200 is optimal and most people are comfortable with it around 100. Supplement 10,000iu D3 daily for 6-8 weeks to build levels and then reduce to 5,000iu daily. Retest in 6 months.

Thanks for the reply,doctor not ringing until after surgery tonight,so about 7pm, my other result that needed attention is Serum creatinine 49 umol/L think you said that was kidney function,

[redted]

Dr rang has left me a prescription for vit d supplements,didn't say what strength.

Did not seem concerned about the creatinine result and could not understand why they had put abnormal,ferritin,folate B12 all ok.so will have to see if I improve on the Vit D supplements.
