Thyroid test can you help please

[bev58]

GP ordered Thyroid test,When results came back he only tested T4 which came back as 8.5

The range was 7.86 to 14.41

Does this seem low?

Thanks Bev

Suggest you retest thyroid and vitamins via Medichecks

Presumably you have increased your vitamin D supplement and now also take magnesium and vitamin K2

Would also get full iron panel test for anaemia because of your hair loss and because you don’t eat red meat

Recommended that all thyroid blood tests early morning, ideally just before 9am

This gives highest TSH and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip)

It’s possible to have low ferritin but high iron 

Medichecks iron panel test 

Test early morning, and only drink water between waking and testing

Have you organised an ultrasound scan of your thyroid yet
