Alopeecia

I am a diabetic patient with open heart surgery. Now I got alopecia. I get result as T3 6.99, T4 93.8 and TSH 2.07. Please advice me about prescription.

Have you got reference ranges for your test results, it will help members to comment. Your FT4 result is very high and doesn't seem to equate with those we normally see in the UK, so as ranges vary it is important to know what they are and see where you lie within the range.

Ferritin is important for hair growth, has this been tested?

You haven't said what type of diabetic you are. This is important as different drugs use up more of particular vitamins and minerals.

Anyway you need to get your levels of ferritin, vitamin B12, folate and vitamin D tested.

Are those results Totals or Frees? Because if they are TT4 and TT3, they don't give you any useful information. However, that TSH says your gland is struggling. Are you on any form of thyroid hormone replacement? Without all the details, it is impossible for anyone to advise you.
