Tgab elevation low t4

[Coops2019]

Hi all

I have;

Tgab 124(<115)ku/l

Tsh 2.68 (0.27-4.2) miu/l

Free t3 4.66 (3.1-6.8) Pmol

Free thyroxine (12.8 (12-22) pmol

Not on any meds

Very symptomatic

Hashimoto?

And cholesterol raised ferritin low b12 normal

Doubtful it's Hash's. The TgAB is only slightly raised - would have to be much higher to show Hashi's, because TgAB can be due to a lot of other things. And your TPOab is very low. You can have Hash's without raised antibodies, but you would need an ultrasound to diagnose it.

Your FT4 is very low, and your TSH says your thyroid is struggling to make hormone, but you aren't quite hypo, yet.

Tgab other things ?

[greygoose in reply to Coops2019]

Yes, Pernicious Anemia, for one thing. I don't remember the whole list. But, such a slightly raised TgAB is not conclusive for Hashi's. It would need to be a lot higher than that for Hashi's.

Here's link about TG antibodies

Have you had vitamin D and folate tested?

How low was ferritin?

Has GP done full iron panel?

What's actual result and range on B12 result

[Coops2019 in reply to greygoose]

My tsh has been rising for years ; in addition all my other bits and minerals are low and cholesterol raised as per thyroid...so if my thyroid is struggling it could be Hashimoto?

[greygoose in reply to Coops2019]

Of course it could, but there's no proof that it is.
