Question 1

had a graves relapse; getting my thyroid levels back down. t3 still mildly elevated. had cbc 2 wks ago and was anemic. had repeat yesterday and that was back to normal. however, my blood glucose was 59! no symptoms of hypoglycemia. what is going on?

Accepted Answer

: It is not a big deal if that is a fasting blood sugar, especially you are asymptomatic. I doubt the relationship between this mild hypoglycemia and your thyroid problem.

Question 2

my t3 (liothyronine) level is high what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See Your Endo MD: Just having high T3 (liothyronine) does not give a good picture what is wrong. Need to get a complete picture of what is going on?

Question 3

what does a high level of t3 (liothyronine) uptake mean in children?

Accepted Answer

Hyperactive Thyroid: It can mean hyperthyroid or TBG def.(thyroxine binding globulin).

Question 4

can you tell me how is t3 (liothyronine) and t4 regulated if their levels are too high?

Accepted Answer

Find the cause: Find out why the level is high. Do you have graves disease, taking too much thyroid hormones...appropriate treatment depends on the cause but there are options.

Question 5

what are the symptoms of low t3 (liothyronine) levels?

Accepted Answer

Maybe none: T3 (liothyronine) &amp; T4 are the active thyroid hormones.   But low T3 (liothyronine) by itself may be normal, unless either T4 is low or TSH is elevated, then total thyroid production is likely low.   See your doctor for full evaluation and treatment.

Question 6

tsh in range. normal t3 high ft4. negative antibodies for graves and hashi. low b12 lower vit d. normal prolactin level. endo believes its pituitary?

Accepted Answer

2nd opinion: High T4 points more to hyperthyroidism . If it is a pituitary issue, the TSH should be elevated.  What kinds of symptoms do you have since the low B12 level is suggestive of an absorption problem unless you are a strict vegan.

Question 7

diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. unknown cause. tsh in range. normal t3 high ft4. negative antibodies for graves and hashi. thyroid ultrasound normal. low b12 lower range vit d. normal prolactin level. endo believes its pituitary?

Accepted Answer

: Valuable to have an endocrinologist.  The low B-12 needs boost to normal range, and monthly injections should correct.  Would also raise vitamin D to a higher level, aiming at 50-70 ng/ml.  Your doctor should be able to guide these additional interventions.

Question 8

high thyroglobulin & t3 (liothyronine) free levels  post thyroid lobectomy indicates what?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid: Something does not add up.
Thyroglobulin may be high for a number of reasons and can be controlled if needed.

I don't understand why free T3 (liothyronine) is high post thyroid lobectomy.

Please pursue this with your doctor and the the thyroid surgeon.

If their answers make sense could you please let me know.

Question 9

my t3 levels have been low consistently, tsh normal, t4 on the high end of normal. is the low t3 anything to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroid and T3: If the TSH is normal, then that is strong evidence that you are normal.  Pituitary TSH responds mostly to T3.  If you T3 were too low, the TSH should be high.  Indeed, I am not sure why T3 is being measured.  There are more problems with the T3 assay than that of T4. This could just be "lab error".

Question 10

my tsh level was high 17, t3 and t4 level were low before 8 months ago. i didn't use any medications. now my tsh is 1.8, and t3 and t4 are normal . why it happen ? is it possible ?

Accepted Answer

It is possible.: If your diet changed meaning that you got  iodine  or more iodine in your diet through the food or salt you eat.
