can you please help me interpret my blood test results? Anything that stands out besides my cholesterol? The test had been done in Czech Rep., so I hope it makes sense.
Thank you!

Your thyroid results look poor.

FT4 is low in range as is FT3. total T4 is also low in range.

It D needs to be supplemented.

I think your last results are the thyroid antibody ones, but i might be wrong. these look fine, so no hashimotos disease.

Feritin at 40 odd wants to be higher. Wants to be 90 and above. Thyroid hormone doesn't work as well when iron levels are lower.

I would say you are a classic person who could use a bit of thyroid supplementation.

Thanks so much! Do you know if this would be interpreted as hypothyroid by medical establishment as well or is everything good in their view?

No everything is good in their view. Thousands of people the world over are told they are fine, but actually they would benefit from some thyroid meds. The fault lies with the reliance on the TSH test.

Ok, thank you. That's what I thought.:)

Total Cholesterol: If you are planning to use thyroid supplement, RP recommends
at least 160 mg/dL and preferably above 200. Your total chol is 177.
Fructose helps to increase cholesterol.

RP recommends iron saturation index to measure total iron
status. Ferritin level is not a reliable indicator.

Your parathyroid hormone is bit high, RP recommends this number at
the lower end of normal. Probably, your low vitamin D causing lower
calcium absorption and increasing PTH.

Your phosphorus level is at lower end of normal and it is desireable.
Low phosphorus level lowers PTH. Vitamin D, Vitamin K, dietary calcium intake with
calcium to phosphorus ratio 2:1 or at least calcium intake higher than phosphorus
help with lowering PTH. He recommends 1500 mg of calcium to lower PTH.
Magnesium, vitamin A , fructose and niacinamide also helps to lower PTH.

Your Albumin and prolactin levels within accepted range.
A total carbon dioxide level is a helpful test.

Ideally T4 should be at lower end of normal range and total T3
should be at the upper or above. It is bit unusual to have all the
PTH, T4 and T3 values at lower range. High estrogen can
block release of thyroid hormone (both T4 and T3) and conversion
of T4 to T3 in the liver, that usually results in higher TSH.
Here is a RP quote where a hypothyroid person has low TSH.

Aging, infection, trauma, prolonged cortisol excess, somatostatin, dopamine or L-dopa, adrenaline (sometimes; Mannisto, et al., 1979), amphetamine, caffeine and fever can lower TSH, apart from the effect of feedback by the thyroid hormones, creating a situation in which TSH can appear normal or low, at the same time that there is a real hypothyroidism.

@Mittir I very much appreciate your input on my test, I didn't realise you are still on the forum. :) I find your feedback really valuable.

I had earlier blood tests done but not as thorough back in March, and I also had mildly elevated liver enzymes, cholesterol was 5 and TSH was 2.1, vit d was 23.
Since then, in May, I had a major abdominal surgery so I wonder if my estrogen went up?
Regarding my PTH - I thought you said that it is higher than it should be, but then you also said that it is unusual to have T3,T4 and PTH at lower range. Can you please explain? I'm not sure I understand.
Any further suggestions?
Thank you very much!

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant to write " T3, T4 and TSH. Not PTH.
RP's quote explains possible reasons for lower TSH with hypothyroidism.
Your surgery can be a cause for that. But, your pre surgery TSH was not that
higher than post surgery TSH.

If i were to try thyroid supplement, i would start with very small dose of T3.
1 to 2 mcg to see how body reacts to it. I use chicken neck soup for that.
I get warmth and energy boost from soup of 4 necks.
Fish head soup should have some T3. But, i think T3 content is
higher in chicken neck.

If your caloric intake, especially sugar is low then increasing
that can give immediate result. I hope you are able to consume
enough calories without digestive symptoms.

Thank you Mittir. I am going to buy some chicken necks today, fortunately it is readily available here, so I will make a soup with 4 necks and see how I feel. I have some digestive problems, but it usually shows up as blocked nose, and most likely if something disagrees with me it shows up as anxiety and heart palpitations. With sugar (fruit/juice/white sugar) I eat according to taste, forcing it down doesn't agree with me. Also I still think elevated estrogen could be a problem as I certainly have symptoms of depression, anxiety, sore breasts and light and short periods. I don't take any supplements besides solban and estroban topically and the occasional aspirin. I would like to try thyroid, especially if I react well to the chicken neck soup. I am also considering cypro as well, at the moment I'm giving it to my autistic daughter and am seeing some improvements already.
