Hi,
I recently had a blood test for various things. (I have Psoriatic Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Sjörgren's Syndrome, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and some of the tests are because of the meds I take). I was hoping someone could interpret my results, i.e. if there's anything I should be concerned about. I'm due to see my endocrinologist on Thursday. I'm annoyed they didn't do my T3 levels, I did ask at the time. Anyway, the TSH says it's under the correct level and the T4 over... not sure how impactful this is, but I haven't felt very good recently and was convinced my levels would be worse than they are. I've also been trying to lose a few pounds in weight to no avail.
Thank you in anticipation. (I am on a daily amount of 175 mcg of Levothyroxine.)

FASTING GLUCOSE (PLASMA) on thyroxine
The Request indicates that this sample was taken
following a fast (8-14 hrs)
A fasting glucose of less than 6.1 mmol/L
makes the diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus unlikely.
A value of 6.1 to 6.9 mmol/L is classified as
"impaired fasting glucose" (IFG)
Concentrations greater than 6.9 mmol/L indicate
probable diabetes. In the absence of symptoms a
diagnosis of diabetes should only be made if a
Fasting Plasma Glucose is 7 mmol/L or greater on
more than one occasion.
Plasma fasting glucose level 4.3 mmol/L [3.5 - 6.0]
CRP on thyroxine
Serum C reactive protein level < 4 mg/L [0.0 - 6.0]
Serum lipid levels on thyroxine
Please see NICE CG181: Lipid Modification Guidelines.
Serum cholesterol level 6.4 mmol/L
Serum triglyceride levels 2.40 mmol/L [0.3 - 1.8]
Above high reference limit
Serum HDL cholesterol level 1.07 mmol/L
Serum LDL cholesterol level 4.23 mmol/L
Serum cholesterol/HDL ratio 6.0
Serum non high density lipoprotein cholesterol level 5.33 mmol/L
Liver function tests on thyroxine
Serum albumin level 40 g/L [35.0 - 50.0]
Serum total bilirubin level 6 umol/L [0.0 - 20.0]
Serum alkaline phosphatase level 62 U/L [30.0 - 130.0]
Serum alanine aminotransferase level 29 U/L [7.0 - 40.0]
Thyroid function test on thyroxine
Serum TSH level 0.27 mU/L [0.35 - 5.5]
Below low reference limit
Serum free T4 level 22.2 pmol/L [10.0 - 19.8]
Above high reference limit
Urea and electrolytes on thyroxine
Serum sodium level 136 mmol/L [133.0 - 146.0]
Serum potassium level 4.7 mmol/L [3.5 - 5.3]
Serum creatinine level 61 umol/L [44.0 - 97.0]
eGFR using creatinine (CKD-EPI) per 1.73 square metres ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73m*2
Please note change in eGFR equation to CKD-EPI.
eGFR calculation assumes Caucasian origin.
