Since thyroid test results and associated reference ranges vary from lab to lab, it is important to always compare results to the ranges from that specific lab. Please post the reference ranges for the tests you listed above.
I just got my thyroid test results and the figures look as follows
FT4 - 7.9
TSH - 35.44
FT3 - 4.2
Throglobulin Antibodies - 865
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies - 649
Anti Nuclear Antibody Titre - 1280
What does it mean for me? Since the acceptable limits are far less, I am concerned for what it means for me? We are also trying for a baby, and my doctor suggested against it, for concerns with the brain development of the foetus.
Can you please suggest what this may mean for me?
Thanks, Diya
Wow! I have all your symptoms! My Thyroid Peroxidase AB was 259 iu/ml (<35). My TSH 8.92 mIU/L (0.40-4.50); my RDW in CBC 15.2% (11-15%); Vitamin D, 25-OH, Total 35 ng/ml (30-100). I feel terrible! I'm taking Synthroid 125 mcg; 50,000 IU/wk Vitamin D and I will soon start to take Progesterone SR 25mg daily. Lupus, RA and Sjogren's antibodies tests came back within normal range.
I'd just like to clarify that your TPOab result was 0.36 (not 36), with a range of 0.0-5.6. Is that correct?
I have been diagonosed with an enlarged thyroid (goiter). In January 2013 my TSH was...
1/13....2.2

Potassium 3.9 (range 3.5 - 5.0)
Chloride 106 (range 980-0107)
CO2 26 (range 22 - 30)
Urea Nitrogen 17 (range 7-21)
Creatinine .61 (range .60-1.0)
EST. GFR (MDRD) 60 (range 60)
anion gap 13 (range 90-015)
Bun/Creat Ratio 28 (range undefined)
Glucose, Random 80 (range 65 - 179)
Calcium 9.2 (range 8.5-10.2)

Calloused heels
All comments appreciated!
Some people with Hashi's are TPOab positive, some TGab (thyroglobulin antibodies) and some both. Apparently, a very small percentage of people with Hashi's test negative to both antibodies.
The next step would be to test TGab.
