Hi everyone,
My daughter is so poorly at the moment - very tired, aching, depressed, exhaustion ect.....I am sure that unfortunately she has inherited my ilinesse's (..under-active thyroid, .adrenal insufficiency, low levels of vit d, ferritin ect....Can someone please look at her tests? She is 15 yrs old.
Red blood cell distribut width = 11.7 Range 11.8-14% (her gp is doing this test again..)
Serum ferritin = 29 " " 12.00 - 300.00 ug/l (seems very low, but OK with GP!)
Thyroid function test = 0.81 " " 0.35 - 5.00m UL (seems low to me but, OK with GP!)
Serum free T4 level = 15.1 " " 11.00 - 23.00pmol/L
Vit D = 63 " " 50.00 - 150nmol/L
Please help,
Her thyroid looks ok at the moment (though of course it's not possible to be certain with a one off test, and not even with several). But you're right - she needs iron tablets. And given her symptoms, a test for B12 deficiency?
