A member asked:
My dear friend needs answers that her doctor doesn't have. she has high t3 but doesn't have a thyroid. anything else in the body that makes t3?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only thyroid tissue: There are no other organs in the human body that produce thyroxine, so unless your friend is taking a thyroxine containing supplement or prescription thyroid medication, she should not have high T3. It is possible that she was told she doesn't have a thyroid gland on ultrasound or after surgery, but some thyroid tissue remains. Your friend should consult an endocrinologist to clarify things.
