Are these results telling me I have a health Thyroid???
Laboratory Report (Thyroid Check UltraVit Blood Test)
Thank you for monitoring your health with Medichecks.
Your CRP level is high. This may indicate increased inflammation and/or infection within the body. If you are experiencing pain, fever or other symptoms that suggest infection or inflammation then I recommend that you discuss this further with your GP. The type of
CRP test that you have had is one which can also indicate future risk of cardiovascular disease. I recommend repeating this test in 6-8 weeks to see whether it remains above 3. If it does then I recommend that you take a more aggressive approach to managing other
cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, diet, smoking and exercise levels.
Your vitamin D levels are at the low end of the normal range. This may progress to vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency if you don’t take steps to increase your vitamin D levels. Low levels of vitamin D can cause fatigue, bodily aches, poor memory and difficulties concentrating. Outside of the winter months there is enough sun for your skin to make at least part of your daily requirement of vitamin D, so it is worth trying to get 15-20 minutes of midday sun when the sun is out. Vitamin D can also be found in fortified foods such as breakfast cereals, plant-based milks, tofu and some fruit juices. The only reliable natural source of vitamin D is in oily fish, although it can also be found in some mushrooms (portobello, maitake, morel, button, and shiitake are particularly good), you can improve this by leaving the mushrooms in the sun before cooking them. We recommend supplementing with 400 - 800 iu of vitamin D per day for twelve weeks. If you are already taking vitamin D then I recommend that you increase your dose. I'm pleased to report your thyroid stimulating hormone, thyroxine and T3 are all normal which suggest healthy thyroid function. Your thyroid autoantibodies are also negative, which means you are less likely to develop an autoimmune thyroid problem in the near future. I hope this information has been useful.
