T3 (liothyronine) is 600 , T4 is 24 , TSH is 0.014 cause hyperthroid.How to treat them operation or medicine?
Low TSH hyperthyroid: The low TSH did not cause hyperthyroidism, but is evidence of hyperthyroidism. In consultation with your doctor, the cost for the hyperthyroidism should be determined. That will help delineate which type of treatment is necessary. In very rare cases hyperthyroidism could be evidence of thyroid cancer, and obviously surgery would be warranted. Most other cases are amenable to medical treatment. ...Read more

Tsh is .77, T3 is 112, T3 uptake 29, T4 free 1.1, T4 total 8.5 and free T4 2.5. On 100mcg of synthroid (thyroxine). Nodules and goiter, still feeling bad, why?
Felling bad: Hi. There is a tendency among patients to blame every ailment on the poor little thyroid. Your thyroid labs are a little inconsistent - you say free T4 is both 1.1 and 2.5; did you mean one is a free thyroxine index? If indicated, has your nodule been needle biopsied? Otherwise, there are a bazillion things that can make you feel bad with normal thyroid function. ...Read more

Check Iodine levels: Your TSH is elevated and the FT4 is in the lower quartile of normal values. Chronic fatigue syndrome could be due to frank hypothyroidism and Iodine deficiency or Hashimoto`s. I would like to see the levels of FT3 and a 24 hours urine collection for Iodine and Fluoride. I would treat you with Iodine if it is low in the urine collection and with Thyroid medications if Iodine is normal in urine. ...Read more

If my TSH (ultra sensitive) is 5.37, T3 (liothyronine) is 94.23, and T4 is 8.70, do I need to take a free T3 (liothyronine) and T4 test?
Thyroid Tests: Tsh is slightly elevated. I don't know which units of measure the thyroid hormones were tested. Generally, a total T4 isn't as helpful as free t4. A T3 (liothyronine) isn't something we routinely measure unless a patient is hyperthyroid. Are there any antithyroid antibodies? Hard to comment further without more info. ...Read more

Can the total T3 (liothyronine) T4 be normal and the free T3 (liothyronine) T4 be abnormal ?
Yes: The total t3 (liothyronine) and T4 levels are the "active forms" of t3 (liothyronine) and t4. These hormones are protein-bound. So, for example, if you have high protein levels, your total t3 (liothyronine) and T4 levels may come out normal when your free t3 (liothyronine) and T4 (looking at just the unbound levels) are actually low. To account for abnormal protein levels, we usually check the free levels for accuracy. ...Read more
