Help with blood results please

[MelonJ]

Hi, I picked up my results that I was given over the phone last week. The only count mentioned by my GP was tsh level which I’m told i’ll Be retested on beginning of May.

I was advised on this group to get my results and post them for feedback. Would be really pleased if someone would let me know if there’s anything I should follow up.

I’ve also sent off for a test kit to get my full blood counts done.

Thanks All x

Melonj,

There's no TSH blood result above.

The results you have posted are for a full blood count. They're all within range (normal).

Hi clutter, I can’t work out how to post more pics. Tsh is 5.02 mU/L 0.35-5.0

MelonJ,

TSH is over range. Do you take Levothyroxine?

[MelonJ in reply to Clutter]

No, I only had this test result last week. I was told I’ll need to be retested in may.

[Clutter in reply to MelonJ]

MelonJ,

The reason for that is because TSH can be elevated by a non-thyroidal illness like a virus or infection which would be expected to clear in 2-3 months.

Arrange your next blood test early in the morning when TSH is highest and fast (water only) as TSH drops after eating and drinking.
