Vitamin Blood Test

[notpink]

I have been on T3 (5 mcg twice daily) + 50 mcg Levo. for 2 weeks now. Am not so tired - certainly notice that difference and temperature more stable, but I guess it's a little early to assess levels. Am also losing weight - thought maybe the the GF diet? Have just had a blood test for vitamin levels and wondered if anyone has any thoughts as to what (if any) action I should take, as Bilirubin and Ferritin both high: Results below.

Creatinine - 70 umol/L (45 - 84)

eGFR - 70.96 ml/min/1.73m2 (Range: ?60)

Bilirubin - 25.6 umol/L (Range: <21)

ALP - 80 IU/L (<130) ALT - 16.8 IU/L (<35)

GGT - 8IU/L (6 - 42)

Total Protein - 66.8 g/L (60 - 80)

Albumin - 39.7 g/L (35 - 50) Globulin - 27.1 g/L (19 - 35)

Cholesterol status - now all in range - presume because of T3

Ferritin - 170 ug/L (13 - 150)

Vitamin B12 - Active - 80.100 pmol/L (37.5 - 188)

Vitamin D - 98 nmol/L (50 - 175)

Will continue with B12 and Vitamin D to try and increase these, but if anyone has any thoughts as to whether I should see GP - instinctively don't want to. Many thanks for reading.

Bilirubin don't worry about it - my GP says 10% of people have the normal just slightly high. And he doesn't worry unless someone has their rage double of triple that.

B12 you want to be maxed or above range. GP started me on B12 injections every 2-3 months and runs me about 30% above rage. Feels great and no brain fog.

Ferritin - you're not crazy high, google it and see if you can find a cause, example "obesity, inflammation etc"

Many thanks for your comments. Much appreciated.

Just to add your vitD level is good so I wouldnt worry about that. You have only been on your thyroid meds for two weeks. It takes 6-8 weeks to get full effect after each dose alteration. So in your shoes Id wait and see.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, realise it's not long since starting T3 and, if checking with GP would be scared he'd whip it off me! Will wait and see how things go.
