vitamin levels are in advice sought please?

[Chelle1310]

My previous post was concerning my vitamin d level, which was 32nmol/L and whether this reading was low enough to warrant a diagnosis of Hyperparathyroidism, even though my adjusted Calcium level was 2.21 (2.2-2.6), PTH is 13.7 (1.6-7.5)

My thyroid tests came back as TSH 5.3miu/L (0.3-5.0) T4 19pmol/L (9.0-25.0)

Vitamin B12 263ng/L (220-700)

Folate 2.3ng/ml (2.6-17.3)

Ferritin 31ng/ml (10-420)

Iron 17umol/L (14-28)

Potassium 3.4mmol/L (3.5-5.3)

Urea 1.8mmol/L (2.5-7.8)

Creatinine 72umol/L (60-120)

Albumin 43g/L (35.0-50.0)

Comments from Lab, say everything satisfactory, no further action!

As ever, thoughts. comments all appreciated..

Your TSH is too high and your vitamin D, B12, folate and ferritin are all too low... I would get a thyroid panel done with TSH, FT4, FT3 and both antibodies, with CRP inflammation marker. Probably cortisol and a coeliac test too. I can't comment on the others but someone else will be able to.

Makes me so angry that they will say everything satisfactory just because it's within their vast range.

I know what you mean, i'm blown away by the inability to understand how all of this leaves a person feeling, especially when hypothyroid anyway..

Even worse when quite a lot of it ISN'T in range eg Folate

As you are already on large dose of Levothyroxine you clearly have gut issues

Gluten intolerance very likely and low stomach acid.

Read up about how to ween off omeprazole and improve gut function

Getting vitamins optimal essential too

TSH should be around one and FT4 towards top of range and FT3 at least half way in range

You need thyroid antibodies testing too
