Question 1

what does a low tsh score of .08 indicate? i have been takin levothyroxin for 9 years and my last blood test shows a tsh score of .08.

Accepted Answer

Decrease medicine: You are on too much Levothyroxine, you need to take a lower dose of levothyroxine and recheck your TSH in 5 weeks after you decrease your dose.

Question 2

i'm 27. my blood test showed low tsh, and total t-3 and free t-4 are both high. what symtomps should i be having? i dont feel classic thyroid symptom

Accepted Answer

Need results: It would be helpful to have the actual values from the lab tests. What symptoms do you have? Do not be concerned about the symptoms you should have. Please note that 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.

Question 3

my tsh level in my last blood test was 3.48 which means my thyroid level is low. i have never had a thyroid problem before but i am now in the early stages of pregnancy. what is the recommended daily dose of levothyroxine to correct my thyroid level?

Accepted Answer

Not low: A TSH level of 3.48 is normal. Your thyroid is functioning normally. Treating yourself for perceived thyroid disorder is not a good idea. You should consult your doctor.

Question 4

i have blood test results that show low calcium levels, low pth levels, and confirmed hypothyroidism due to high tsh. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Calcium PTH, Thyroid: Confirmed hypothyroidism s a clear message that the TSH is working hard to increase thyroid hormone but without success.
Treatment will have to be with thyroid hormone taken by mouth.
Unlikely, but the surgeon might want to remove your thyroid gland since it is not working properly.

Question 5

blood test: i have a low mcv, low mch and high rdw. i have euthyrodism- t3, (liothyronine) t4 & s-tsh fine bt my shbg is high at 198.5 what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Iron deficiency : it appears that you have iron deficiency anemia which needs to be treated with iron supplementation.  I would repeat the thyroid studies in a couple of weeks

Question 6

on my thyroid panel blood test, my t4. t3 (liothyronine) uptake, free thyroxine index are normal. but, my tsh is too low. whats that mean?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid tests: Wen tests don't make sense first thing to do  is to repeat.  But also need to know why you are being tested?

Question 7

is 0.45 low for tsh blood test? have lots of symptoms.

Accepted Answer

It depends: upon the lab, but that value is generally in the lower end of normal, and wouldn't account for any symptoms you are experiencing. Check w/ your doctor,

Question 8

what does a blood test tsh reflx ft4 mean?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid testing: The TSH level will be checked, and if it is out of the reference range, the lab will then run a ft4 without requiring the physician to call you in to have blood drawn again.

Question 9

rsults of my blood test indicate low lh and high tsh (3rd generation). what does this indicate?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroid: A high TSH is consistent with primary hypothyroidism.  You should have a free T4 level done.  Lh is unrelated to thyroid.  A low level could be related to medications, such as an oral contraceptive or other estrogen usage (or testosterone in a male).  If your periods are regular, it is likely a lab error.

Question 10

i got my blood test back . it says my ft3 is 6.22 ft4 is 1.36 and my tsh is 2.5528 what that mean please help!?

Accepted Answer

Looks normal.: You aren't telling me the normal ranges for these results, but as a thyroid specialist who looks at these types of numbers every day, they look normal.  Ask your doctor to go over the results with you to be sure.
