Thyroid test results

[Cats-dogs24]

Hi I was hoping someone could look at my test results which have come back normal from medichecks.

TSH 2.77 mIU/L (0.27-4.2)

Free T3 4.1 pmol/L (3.1-6.8)

Free Thyroxine 16.1 pmol/L (12-22)

Thyroglobulin antibodies 14.3 kIU/L (0-115)

Thyroid peroxidase antibodies 10.7 kIU/L (0-34)

My vitamins b12, folate and D were all optimal as I supplement them all. My ferritin is normal. I had very bad symptoms from b12 deficiency 3 years ago so now I do my own injections as gp won’t. I had suspected MS which was ruled out by MRI.

I am very sensitive to cold, my hair is thinning, I have gained weight and I’m constantly exhausted. I often have a swollen scalloped tongue and joint pains. I think I’m perimenopausal so it could be that.

Any help/comments appreciated thank you.

was test early morning, ideally before 9am and only water to drink between waking and test?

Presumably you are not on levothyroxine?

But trying to get diagnosed?

Free T4 (fT4) 16.1 pmol/L (12 - 22) 41.0%

Free T3 (fT3) 4.1 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8) 27.0%

Ft4 and Ft3 on low side

20% of Hashimoto's patients never have raised antibodies

Worth looking at getting ultrasound scan of thyroid

My vitamins b12, folate and D were all optimal as I supplement them all. My ferritin is normal

Please add actual results

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I was hoping to get diagnosed. Early morning, only water, no Levothyroxine. GP always says my symptoms could be lots of things and only ever do TSH test.

B12 active >150 pmol/L (37.5-188)

Folate >45.4 nmol/L (>7)

D 100 nmol/L (50-250)

Ferritin 205 ug/L (30-207)

My ferritin was always low before I started b12, folate and vit D. I don’t supplement iron

Suggest you get full iron panel test

It’s possible to have high ferritin but low iron

Test early morning, only water to drink between waking and test. Avoid high iron rich dinner night before test

Medichecks iron panel test

Have you had CRP test for inflammation

High CRP will often increase Ferritin

Thanks I’ll look at getting a full iron panel. Yes had CRP HS test 1.67 mg/L (<3)
