Thyroid tests: All else being equal it means your dose of levothyroxine is probably too high. The TSH level is very low, meaning your body is trying to reduce thyroid hormone levels. Follow-up with your doctor to discuss.

Low T3 (liothyronine) uptake (21%), Normal TSH (3.190), normal T4 (9.4), normal free thyroxine index (2.0). Also low BUN/creatine ratio (7). Is low T3 (liothyronine) and BUN scores related? Should I be concerned?
