Follow up to previous post regarding a friends blood tests.

[Ziggyzazu]

My friend was recently diagnosed with hypo thyroid problems. I posted some of his blood results previously but he also had other results in his test flagged and is wondering if they are relevant. It was pointed out that his ferritin is very low. He would be very grateful for any opinions. He presently has some typical thyroid symptoms but also has swollen ankles and his blood when he was giving the sample was very thick. He is on testosterone injections as he had low Testosterone. He has been prescribed eltroxin 50mcg per day. Any thoughts? Would this be a typical starting dose? I hope you can make out the results from the photo. Unfortunately he can’t get an appt with an endocrinologist at the moment due to corona virus. Many thanks in advance for any input you may have.

Sorry but they're impossible to read even on my PC's large monitor. They're too small to make out the detail. Obviously it's the red ones that are most important as these will be out of range, but just can say anything until they're in a readable form.

Oh apologies. I did wonder that ... I will post them again in a more readable format!

Hi I hope this is readable now! Fingers crossed!!
