Hi All, I have PA Injections every 2 months and the occasional SI . Just had bloods done for Thyroid and a few other bloods checked: If anyone could help I appreciate your comments. I've just had a phone call from surgery telling me GP would like me to make a telephone consultation appt.

My results are: TSH 5.24 (0.35-5mu/L, Liver profile 80g/L (61-79g/L, Ferritin 85ug/L (12-250ug/L. Vit D has gone from 35 to 78 in a year of 5000units of Soft Gels when I remember to take them.... what can I expect from telephone appointment, or more to the point what should I be requesting/worried about? Thanks. PS I am awaiting the results of %Thyroid Antibody test.

SarahFerguson,

TSH 5.24 is over range, as is liver profile. Indications are you have an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). If thyroid antibodies are postive it will mean you have autoimmune thyroiditis which causes 90% of hypothyroidism. Treatment for hypothyroidism is Levothyroxine. Liver profile will usually normalise when thyroid levels improve.

Is this Hashimotos?

SarahFerguson,

Insufficient information to tell. The thyroid antibodies results will determine whether your hypothyroidism has been caused by Hashimoto's.
