What Do High Level Of Triglycerides And High Level Of Total Iron Binding Capacity Mean?
I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and am on medication (synthroid). I recently had a blood test done and my thyroid levels are normal. I am however still having symptoms i.e. weight gain and extreme fatigue. My triglycerides and total iron binding capacity were high. What exactly does this mean?
