Recent blood test

[Claire67]

Just had the doctor ring me saying I need to go to the Hospital for another more indepth test and to be there before 9am .

My results are

T4 level 10.2 pmo/L ( 11.0-23.0)

TSH level 0.01 mU/L (0.27 - 4.5)

Total white count - 3.8 10*9/L (4.5 - 13.0)

I take 2.3 grains of NDT split over the day 1.5 at 6am and 1 at about 12.30pm

on the bloos test slip I have to take with me it says:Other tests T4 / T3 / Prolactin / Cortisol / GF1 ACTH.

Also Abnormal TSH & T$ with fatigue.

Can anyone give me a bit more info on these and should I be worried at all?

Thanks in advance.

Claire67,

Does your GP know you are taking NDT or does s/he think you are taking Levothyroxine?

TSH is suppressed at 0.01 which many GPs and endos think is overmedicated. FT4 will normally be high in range or over range when TSH is suppressed and you are taking Levothyroxine so, if your GP isn't familiar with NDT which often results in low FT4, your GP is probably completely baffled by your results.

Skip your NDT dose the morning of the T4 and T3 thyroid blood tests otherwise the T3 in NDT will make the T3 result rocket. T3 result will at least indicate whether you are optimally dosed on NDT.

Prolactin, IGF-1 and ACTH are produced by the pituitary gland.

I suspect your GP is checking whether you have pituitary dysfunction due to your 'odd' thyroid results.

The serum cortisol test will show what level of cortisol is being produced by your adrenal glands. google.co.uk/search?q=Corti...

Total white count is low. If you've had a viral infection that can cause low wbc. I don't believe low wbc has any bearing on the tests your GP has ordered.
