I have been on NDT for weeks, I requested T4 and antibodies as well but they aren't back yet - T3 they won't do. My TSH has never been this low so pleased with that!
Do my results look OK not sure how to interpret them. Thanks.Blood haematinic levels
Serum folate level 7.6 ug/L [4.6 - 18.7]
Serum ferritin level 135 ug/L [30.0 - 400.0]
Ferritin may be elevated due to inflammatory response
and therefore not reflect iron stores.
Serum vitamin B12 level 577 ng/L [197.0 - 771.0]
Roche B12 II assay & new ref. intervals from 19.11.15
Serum TSH level 0.39 mIU/L [0.27 - 4.2]
Accurate clinical details help to ensure the indicated
tests are done and appropriate comments are added.
The goal of TSH monitoring in primary hypothyroidism is
usually to maintain TSH within the reference range.
Serum total 25-hydroxy vitamin D level 70.0 nmol/L
Musculoskeletal symptoms or fatigue are unlikely to
be due to a vitamin D <30 nmol/L if calcium, alkaline
phosphatase and PTH are normal. Such symptoms
would NOT be expected at vitamin D levels >30 nmol/L.
<30 nmol/L - High dose supplementation recommended.
30-50 nmol/L - If bone health an issue,
suggest standard-dose supplementation.
No repeat vitamin D measurement needed.
50-125 nmol/L - No action needed.
Serum iron tests
Serum iron level 15.0 umol/L [6.6 - 26.0]
Serum TIBC 58.0 umol/L [45.0 - 81.0]
Transferrin saturation index 25.9 % [15.0 - 45.0]
Routine Biochemistry
Serum magnesium level 0.81 mmol/L [0.7 - 1.0]

you wish to discuss any of these results.
eGFR using creatinine (CKD-EPI) per 1.73 square metres 82 ml/min/1.73m^2
Reported eGFR is not adjusted for race(x1.159 if black)
In the presence of acute kidney injury or unstable
creatinine, eGFR will be invalid.
eGFR calculated using CKD-EPI equation from 03.08.15.

Classify CKD using a combination of GFR and
albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) categories.
Serum creatinine level 72 umol/L [44.0 - 80.0]
Serum albumin level 46 g/L [35.0 - 50.0]
Serum calcium level 2.35 mmol/L [2.2 - 2.6]
Serum adjusted calcium concentration 2.30 mmol/L [2.2 - 2.6]
Adj. calcium equation changed on 11/09/2014. NB Calcium
adjustment for albumin in an individual patient is
based on an average correction factor. Please interpret
results near decision points with caution.
Serum inorganic phosphate level 0.76 mmol/L [0.8 - 1.5]
Outside reference range
Serum alkaline phosphatase level 68 iu/L [30.0 - 130.0]
