Many Nodules on your thyroid? under/over?

[madeline05]

Hi there,

Sorry for the posts but my endo is basically no help at all!!!

This is only place I can get any answers.

I am still waiting on a result for my dominate nodule biopsy . which was 1.9in size .

In the meantime, I'm just wondering as they said I had quite a few nodules on my thyroid would this be indicative of a under or over thyroid? I need to get my bloods done again .

If my Free T4 was over the range, what would this mean? It was at the top of the range that last time.

Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Ab's 1.4 IU/mL range 0 - 8.9

Free T3 5.4 pmol/L Range 3.8 - 6.0

Free T4 14.4 pmol/L Range 7.9 - 14.4

TSH 3.03 mIU/L Range 0.38 - 5.33

Thank you so much x

you need to also test Thyroglobulin antibodies

Significant minority of Hashimoto’s patients only have high TG antibodies (thyroglobulin)

As you are in Ireland

There’s this test

Hot nodules can upset thyroid levels

Neither. Or, rather, can be either. And even some euthyroid people have nodules.
