ALL OTHER TESTS NORMAL THOUGH TESTOSTERONE WAS 2.2 THE HIGHEST IT CAN BE

The vitamin D is clearly low -- would recommend general endocrine evaluation for these issues.

Thanks for repsonding dr. lupo- anything that is a usual cause for all of this. Does it boil down to hypo/hyperthyroid or could it just be a deficiency for no reason. I guess what I'm asking is what are the causes of low vitamin d?

Hi Dr. Lupo-

Wanted to add my other thyroid results so I could maybe get an opinion. Still waiting on my endo this friday. When I posted in another forum they said clearly autoimmune thyroid disease like Hahimoto or Grave's- does that sound about right?

TSH is 2.155 (ref 0.450-4.500)
T3 Uptake is 28 (Ref 24-39)
Free Thyroxine Index is 2.5 (ref 1.2-4.9)
Antithyroglobulin AB 20 (ref 0-40)
Thyroid Peroxidase TPO 10 (ref 0-34)
Thyroxine (T4) 8.9 (ref 4.5-12)

I hear you might be able to help as well....?

TPO and TG antibodies are not elevated; this in 95% can rule out autoimmune thyroiditis[unless you are among 5% "lucky" ones whose antibodies are not elevated.
