Help with interpreting my results please!

[TiggyWi]

Hi all - I’ve recently carried out some blood work to monitor my thyroid (recently diagnosed with Hashimoto) and I would really appreciate some help in interpreting my results. Test was taken at 9am, fasted and I am not on any medication.

TSH: 1.59 (0.27 - 4.2)

T3: 3.74 (3.1 - 6.8)

T4: 15.4 (12 - 22)

Thyroglobulin: 31.1 (0-115)

TPO: 129 (0-34)

Vitamin D: 97 (50-150)

Active Vitamin B12: 86 (38<)

Ferritin: 36 (13-150)

Folate: 6.9 (2.9<)

I think I am low in iron so need to start supplementing that.

Am I correct in thinking my T3 is low? Is there anything I can do at this stage? What is a “normal” level of TSH/T3/T4? Any advice appreciated!

with previous vitamin results

Vitamin D: 43 nmol/L (50-150)

B12: 948 ng/L (197-771)

Folate: 15.7 ug/L (3-20)

Ferritin: 72 ug/L (13-150)

Suggest you get full iron panel test for anaemia via Medichecks

Test early morning, only water between waking and test

Never supplement iron without doing full iron panel test for anaemia first and retest 3-4 times a year if self supplementing.

It’s possible to have low ferritin but high iron 

Medichecks iron panel test

Look at increasing iron rich foods in diet 

Eating iron rich foods like liver or liver pate once a week plus other red meat, pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate, plus daily orange juice or other vitamin C rich drink can help improve iron absorption

Vitamin D is good

How much vitamin D are you taking

Folate and B12

If not already taking a good quality vitamin B complex this might help too
