Are T4 Level Of 1.05 And T3 Level Of 87 A Concern?
Brief Answer:
Thyroid
Detailed Answer:
Your vitamin D level is unlikely to affect the thyroid condition. Although there are recent studies to show that TSH in this range is normal for older individuals I would still suggest you consult an endocrinologist in-person. When I see someone like you in my practice, I typically order the following blood tests in addition to a detailed physical examination
CBC (Complete Blood Count, also known as Hemogram; includes Hemoglobin, WBC and Platelet counts)
Electrolytes (Sodium and Potassium in particular)
HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin = your last 3 months' glucose average). Also known by other names such as GlycoHemoglobin or Glycated Hemoglobin or A1c
Liver function tests (SGOT , SGPT, Albumin, Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase)
Kidney function tests (BUN, Creatinine) Thyroid autoantibodies : Anti Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) antibodies and Anti Thyroglobulin antibodies
None of these tests require any fasting and can be done at any time of the day
