Hi everyone,

I’m hashi. I just got my blood work done and the result came back today stating my tsh and thyroglobulin(tg) is low and fallen out of range. Is this something that I should worry about? Should I change my dosage of Levo? My results came back as below.

FT3: 2.61 (1.80-4.10)

FT4: 1.265 (0.81-1.89)

TT3: 0.718 (0.66-1.92)

TSH: 0.267 (0.38-4.34)

Tg: 0.98 (1.40-78)

Help please~ you’re help is much appreciated.

Stellalouu,

You are not biochemically overmedicated with TSH mildly below range and FT4 and FT3 low in range. There is no need to reduce dose unless you *feel* overmedicated.

In the UK thyroglobulin is ordered as a cancer marker for patients who have had a thyroidectomy due to thyCa. I'm not sure why your doctor ordered a thyroglobulin test when you are taking Levothyroxine.

A thyroglobulin test may sometimes be ordered when a person has symptoms of hyperthyroidism and/or an enlarged thyroid gland and the healthcare practitioner suspects that the person may have a thyroid disorder such as Graves disease or thyroiditis.31 Oct 2016

Thank you! So I could just maintain my current dosage right ? I think the doctor might order the test cause of the lump at my thyroid.

Stellalouu,

It's absolutely fine for TSH to be below range as long as FT3 remains within range.
