Thyroid blood tests and ultrasound
by Katerinazach, Jan 15, 2008 12:31AM
I recently had some problems and my doctor suggested that I do some blood tests and a thyroid ultrasound. The Blood results were:
T4: 6.8
T3: 159
TSH: 2.74
ANTI-TRO: 616.3
ANTI-TG: >1000
The ultrasound showed that the size of the thyroid is normal, no nodules etc, but there is an heterogeneity (? this is a rough translation from greek, I don't know if it is the correct term).
I have an appointment with an endo in a week but would like to get a rough idea of what I might have.
My other symptoms are weight gain, fatigue, sleepyness and increased heart rate (I did a heart triplex too, but everything was ok).
From my relatively small research, I think I have Hashimoto's. Do you think that is the case?

Your TSH, and both Ts do not relate to (active) Hashi and which suggest you have normal thyroid levels as far as a hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
High antibodies with normal thyroid levels means you are not active Hashi yet but you might become so in the future.
Of course I am not a doctor. The Endo. will know more.
