T3 (liothyronine) Toxicosis/Lab Err: Why done? Is this free T3 (liothyronine)? Value suggests it, most labs use a diff scale, is this a reputable lab? Consider re-test/test at another lab. With a thyroid nodule/underlying thyroid disease it could be T3 (liothyronine) toxicosis, a form of hyperthyroidism, but TSH should be low. Have you had any imaging studies with dye, can stim nod. Too much info can cause stress, likely nl with lab variation. Need to see labs.
