Help with my son's (41) results please?

[Elle137]

I asked my son to check his thyroid (he is chronically tired all the time) as I have hashimoto's (TPO 345 & ultrasound confirm, not medicated as fall within ratio's) medichecks blood test revealed:Ferritin 263 (30-518)

CRP 0.31 (0-3)

Folate serum 7.7 (7-35)

B12 active 80.8 (37.5-188)

Vitamin D 97.8 (50-250)

TSH 1.25 (0.27-4.2)

T3 5.7 (3.1-6.8)

T4 20.5 (12-22)

TPO 17 (0-34)

I would be very grateful for suggestions to raise his Ferritin, folate & B12? You guy's were super helpful with me x

The FT3 and FT4 are quite high, can you clarify... is your son already taking thyroid hormones?

[Elle137 in reply to RedApple]

Thank you for replying 😊 he is not on any thyroid hormones, since discovering my situation I wanted him to check his (family condition: maternal uncle had thyroidectomy, sister hypothyroid) Thyroid function, i thought they were high?

[RedApple Administrator in reply to Elle137]

Symptoms of thyroid dysfunction can often begin long before the hormone blood levels go out of range. At this stage, although T4 and T3 are quite high, TSH is optimum. I would repeat thyroid testing on a regular basis to see if there's a pattern that might indicate things are heading in a direction that requires treatment.

I'll leave others to suggest possible action for Ferritin, folate & B12. 😊
