Good Evening. I recently had some bloods done and would like a little help on what the results mean for me. They were performed on 5/24/18. Any advice would be appreciated.

TSH 1.300. Range 0.450 - 4.500

T4 free 0.99. 0.82 - 1.77

T3 free 5.0 high. 2.0 - 4.4

Vitamin D 23 low. 30.0 - 100.0

Iron TIBC. 351. 250 - 450

UBIC. 331. 131 - 425

IRON. 20. Low 27 - 159

Iron Sat. 6% low. 15% - 55%

Ferritin. 20. 15- 150

Calcium. 8.9. 8.7 - 10.2

I was referred to have an iron infusion following my appointment. I am almost 3 years post thyroidectomy for multi nodule thyrotoxicosis.

Your vitamin D is also too low. If supplementing already you need to increase dose

Need B12 and folate tested too. These are often too low as well

Eating liver once a week should help keep ferritin levels up, after iron infusion

Once all vitamins are optimal you will need to retest thyroid - TSH, FT3 and FT4. At moment low iron and low vitamin D will be stopping thyroid hormones being used well

What dose of Levothyroxine are you on? Are you also taking T3?

Thank you for your reply. I am on Nature throid 260 mg. I am not on T3 since nature throid has it included. I will try the liver even though the texture is weird to me. I am also taking vitamin D 50000 iu.

Read up about importance of magnesium and vitamin K2 Mk7 when supplementing vitamin D

Be good idea to test B12 and folate

Thank you I will read about that because I really want the supplement to work because I have been unsuccessful with vitamin D in the past. Also should I be worried about the high T3?

T3 should drop as vitamins improve.

Not what you're looking for?
