Hi, I was hoping for some advice on my 70 y0 Mother's thyroid tests. She is diagnosed as hypothyroid and has been on 100 mcg synthroid T4 for several years.
I gave her list of Ray Peat suggested thyroid tests to have done but the ignorant GP only put in for TSH, total T4 and Total T3. Her T3 is obviously low and TSH not ideal. Does this mean she should take some T3 or is this inconclusive without the reverse T3 test or other tests such as free T3 and Free T4.
Component...................Your Value ............... Standard Range...........Flag
THYROXINE (T4)........9.7 ug/dL...................4.5 - 12.8 ug/dL
T3 TOTAL ....................80 ng/dL....................87 - 178 ng/dL L
TSH ..............................1.25 uIU/mL...............0.28 - 4.10 uIU/m.......L
Ive attached her other blood tests. In general she has high cholesterol 266 mg/dl, high LDL and high hemoglobin A1C
She says she is tired a lot though she is pretty active for a 70 yo.
