Thyroid test and Iodine dye contrast
by eharvey, Apr 02, 2009 07:28AM
Dr Lupo,
Can You clear this up for me, Please. Sorry, I have so many questions.
I have recently had a cardiac cath with iodine dye contrast and x-rays for Atrial fib with tacaycardia and was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy also. 2 weeks later I had thyroid tests done. Here are the results
TSH- * .11
T3 - 42
T4 - 8.0
T7 - 3.4
TSH Receptor Ab - *15
My doctor didn't know what these results meant and is referring me to a endocrinologist. I have had several opinions from medical professionals on the dye contrast and have been told, it does nothing, also was told that it raise the values,If that is true are my TSH even lower than .11?
Can the iodine dye effect the results of these test ? Or could I really have hyperthyroid with graves?
I am looking for an underlying cause of the A-fib, I have been healthy, although unable to lose weight upon dieting, untill the this heart problem hit me like a ton of bricks. Also here are the meds I am on will any of these effect the test?
Digoxin
Lopresser
coumadin
Please Help!
