Hi I'm speaking to a doctor in the morning .so if possible I need a answer today please.
I have hashimotos and receiving treatment .but these blood results are causing me some concern .I posted recently on the b12 site but I have separated these results to better illustrate the problem.
My serum adjusted calcium concentrate levels are 2.38 range (2.2 -2.6)
Serum calcium levels are 2.42 (2.2-2.6)
These seem to be above range . Hyperparathyroidism ?
B12 is 241 (150 -1000)
Folate 7.3 (2-18.8)
Vitamin D 54 (50-75) slight Increase from January when it was 47
Full blood count borderline
Mildly raised lymphocytes all ways raised
eGFR slight decrease on last year
Could this be something to do with hyperparathyroidism is there a connection between hashimotos and hyperparathyroidism
I have nodules and a cyst on my thyroid thank you

Your B12 and folate are low, but not low enough for GP to consider treatment
A daily good quality vitamin B complex with folate in rather than folic acid may be of benefit
If you are taking vitamin B complex, or any supplements containing biotin, remember to stop these 3-5 days before any blood tests, as biotin can falsely affect test results
Vitamin D also low. Are you supplementing? Aiming to improve to around 100nmol. Vitamin D mouth spray by Better You is good as avoids poor gut function. Suggest you supplement for 2-3 months and retest. It's trial and error what dose each person needs. Once you Improve level, very likely you will need on going maintenance dose to keep it there. Retesting twice yearly via vitamindtest.org.uk

Thank you slowdragon I'm not supplementing at all and they didn't do Ferritin levels I have problems getting them to test at all . TSH is 0.5 range is[0.3-4.5 ] I have hashimotos .I put all my latest results on the b12 site last week these tests were taken on July 17 this year .
Literally thousands on UK patients on here use private testing
It was the only way many of us made improvements
For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4, TT4, FT3 plus TPO and TG thyroid antibodies and also very important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12
Private tests are available. Thousands on here forced to do this as NHS often refuses to test FT3 or antibodies or vitamins
Medichecks Thyroid plus ultra vitamin or Blue Horizon Thyroid plus eleven are the most popular choice. DIY finger prick test or option to pay extra for private blood draw. Both companies often have money off offers.
All thyroid tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and fasting. When on Levothyroxine, don't take in the 24 hours prior to test, delay and take straight after. This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, GP will be unaware)
