T4 test only.
Hey Everyone, I've been back for another blood test this morning and the phlebotomist said she has only been told [by the doctor] to take bloods for T4 testing.Is this standard? Im sure that last time i was tested for TSH and antibodies, of which TSH was just within range and antibodies were well out

T4 blood test
Doctor took tsh without
T4
so I've just asked for a
T4
test
which he agreed to.So I will book for early morning and fasting. My question is how many days should I stop taking my Bs prior? I know someone has advised before but I can't find the post. Thank you.

Tsh low
T4 wasn't done.I'm due to speak to my GP tomorrow concerning this low reading and to ask for a
T4
test
. Have GPs stopped doing
T4
blood tests? It seems mine has routinely stopped. I will get a private test if he doesn't oblige.

t3 blood test at gp
hi my gp practice has been kindly filling my medichecks container for t3
test
when I get my tsh/
t4
nhs
test
done. However now they’ve decided it’s not possible to do private tests. Has anyone taken their gp on over this.

Advice please
Please could I receive advice on these latest MMH private
test
results. I increased
T4
to 100 mcg from 75/100 ten weeks ago due to low T4 (for me but within range) now T4 abnormal. Palpitations were the main reason to increase and these subsided once I did.

tsh or t4 to determine over medication
It’s controversial in the United States between using tsh or
t4
to detect over medication. Which is the best
test
to conclude over medication tsh or
t4
? Any help would be appreciated.

T4 not routinely tested
Hi, I am arranging post-hemithyroidectomy blood tests with the GP, and have been told that the lab will only
test
T4
if TSH reading indicates that it is necessary; wanted to check whether this means that they might miss something. I already know that I have Hashimotos. Thanks for any insight.

T3 24 hours before Test
So I took both 24 hours before
test
;
T4
131.25 mcg & T3 6.25 mcg Is it possible to work backwards and guesstimate what my FT3 would have been if I had had the last T3 dosage 12 hours before.

testing protocol on T4 and T3
I typically don’t take
T4
before a
test
. The test is booked for 9.40am, (earliest I could get in the time frame needed). Is there a good time to take T3 to get levels which won’t throw things off. Thank you

T3 looks low to me! I have a goitre....help please.
I had to push for T3/
T4
blood
test
after gp took TSH and was then fixated on high cholesterol levels. I did some research and found that cholesterol levels were raised with thyroid problems and said I would not take Statins until thyroid sorted out.

Reference ranges
NHS use a range of 7.86 - 14.41 pmol/L when measuring
t4
. However, every time I've had a private
test
they use much higher reference ranges of roughly 12-22 pmol/L. Even weirder, my t4 always comes back much lower when NHS tested, and higher when privately.

My sis newly diagnosed and prescribed 75 mcg Levo but GP refuses to test free T4 or antibodies.
GP refuses to
test
for free
T4
or antibodies. I don’t think she should take the tablets until she has a baseline free T4 tested and antibodies. What you think?
