Test results

The print out was a bit crazy to make sense of but my serum free t4 is 8.3pool/l

My serum TSH level 13.87Much/L

[Jodyfmurphy]

Anyone make any sense of these for me?

[greygoose]

The only thing that makes any sense is that your TSH is much too high, so you are very hypo.

For the rest, there's no ranges, so impossible to make anything out of them. Sorry.

[Jodyfmurphy in reply to greygoose]

Yeah it says my t4 is low tsh high and serum creatinine is high too not the results I'm used to looking at

[greygoose in reply to Jodyfmurphy]

Not very clearly presented, are they. And no ranges! Which is silly. If your creatine is high, are you drinking enough water? Are you on any other medication?

[Jodyfmurphy in reply to greygoose]

Yeah I drink plenty and nope no other medication have to admit it's freaking me out a bit that all this has been going on in my body

So basically my red blood cell count is high, creatinine is high t4 low and tsh high, it annoys me that all my Dr mentioned was the thyroid

[greygoose in reply to Jodyfmurphy]

Well, could be that the thyroid is responsible for all the rest, and when you get your TSH down, things will probably sort themselves out.

[Jodyfmurphy in reply to greygoose]

Hopefully the red blood cells concerned me because I've always been anemic or bordering on the edge now I've went the other way

[greygoose in reply to Jodyfmurphy]

Well, I can't tell without the ranges. But that could be due to imflammation, which you would have with a TSH that high.

[Jodyfmurphy in reply to greygoose]

Thanks I'm astounded that it was that high and a bit miffed that the Drs attitude was just take a pill without explaining the importance of doing so

[greygoose in reply to Jodyfmurphy]

I know! If you dare to venture an opinion, they say hey! I'm the doctor, you're just the patient. And yet they expect you to know stuff like that without being told. That always annoys me, too.

Trying to get information on the gfr from what I gather my result is indicative of kidney failure!!
