Question 1

normal range t3/t4 but extremely low tsh(high sensitivity). slightly low before pregnancy and now extremely low 11 weeks. endocrine dr not concerned?

Accepted Answer

Low TSH: agree not to worry, your hormone levels are fine and the TSH being slightly is because you are pregnant, just like other things that change with pregnancy.
Don't worry.

Question 2

normal tsh, high t4 and high t3 (liothyronine). what is it?

Accepted Answer

A high protein: T4 and T3 (liothyronine) are bound to a protein in the blood and when it is high, the T4 and T3 (liothyronine) can be elevated with a normal tsh. Estrogen, birth control and pregnancy are the most common causes of an elevation of this protein.

Question 3

normal tsh, high free t4 mild elevation , what might be the cause ?

Accepted Answer

Repeat the labs: Hi. In all likelihood, it's a lab error or some trivial explanation. Repeat the labs to see if the lab profile is reproducible. Among the very rare possibilities that it's real would be thyroid hormone resistance, a condition wherein a mutation in a subunit of the thyroid hormone receptor is present (these people are euthyroid), or a pituitary adenoma that makes thyroid hormone (these are hyperthy

Question 4

a1c5.8;was 5.7 about 5 years ago&was never told pre diabetes;non fasting glucose 104;hypothyroid tsh high@8.31;t4-1.6 with high normal 1.7;concerning?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroid: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, your A1c result is not abnormal and is not pre-diabetes level. However you are hypothyroid and should consult your doctor for replacement medication.

Question 5

subacute thyroiditis, only tsh high 7 but other all normal. have hypo symptoms. doc says symp r not due to thyroid. delay in gastric emptying related ?

Accepted Answer

Subactue thyroiditis: If you have this disorder, it is rare. Often follows a viral infection and is felt to be triggered by a virus and is triphasic. First is a hyperthyroid phase, then a hypothyroid phase then it usually returns to normal with time. The TSH and symptoms are  consistent wih the hypothyroid stage but it may spontaneously improve.

Question 6

can high prolactin, high tsh, high fsh and normal t4 levels be associated with an empty sella or a cystic legion in the pituitary fossa?

Accepted Answer

Something odd here: Usually when you have high TSH it is because your thyroid hormone levels are low and yet you report your T4 levels are normal. I would go see an endocrinologist and sit down with him and review with him what's up doc. And that's not a wacky suggestion.

Question 7

preg wife-had low tsh high t3/t4 tsabs; drs didn't treat; now has elevated liver enzymes; so, can untreated grave's dis. cause elevated enzymes?

Accepted Answer

Check with MD: Physicians will treat appropriately if needed. Grave's disease would be easily recognized by her md. Her liver enzymes may be elevated for many reasons in pregnancy. Check with her md.

Question 8

thyroid tsh high. fog head, can't think; memory probs. my speech is stuttered as brain will not think quick. dr not given meds. should i get meds?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You should have testing to determine why your TSH is so high and why you are having these symptoms.  This is not something that can wait as you have serious concerns.

Question 9

what is meant by low tsh high free t4?

Accepted Answer

Hyperthyroidism: A low TSH and high T4 is an indication of over-active thyroid (hyperthyroidism). This should be evaluated further for any potential cause and discuss treatment options with your physician. Referral to an endocrinologist may be necessary.

Question 10

cholesterol 238mg/dl, hdl 62mg/dl, ldl 150mg/dl, alt 99u/l, ast 42u/l and tsh high could this be high from my tsh levels?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroidism??: How high is TSH? Hypothyroidism is associated with hyperlipidemia. Do you know the result of T3 (liothyronine) &amp; T4?. How mush do you weight? Obesity, non-alcoholic Fatty liver and NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis)) can also give similar blood test. See a DOC for complete evaluation and discussion of your test result
