A member asked:
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?

Your thyroid: profile appears to be normal, with the low T3 (liothyronine) uptake possibly meaning that your body has converted enough T3 (liothyronine) to T4 that your T3 (liothyronine) concentration continues to be high. Low BUN/creatinine ratio is not correlated with serious diseases. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

No: t3 (liothyronine) resin uptake is not very good compared to TSH. You are ok.
