Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been feeling ill for around 8 years, not diagnosed with anything, although waiting to see a rheumatologist about SI joint inflammation. Had thyroid tests done, results as follows TSH 0.03 Ft4 19.4 FT3 6.6 TPOab 80 TRab 0.4 Any ideas? I seem to be having hypo AND hyperthyroidism symptoms?? Thankyou
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. By looking at the report of your thyroid profile, it appears that - 1. TSH level is low. 2. FT3 level is within normal limits. 3. FT4 level is within normal limits. Antibodies of thyroid gland TPOab is high and its receptors appear to be involved in tissue destructive processes associated with hypothyroidism observed in Hashimoto's and atrophic thyroiditis. Appearance of TPOab usually precedes the development of thyroid dysfunction. Hence you might be having hypothyroidism associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Kindly get evaluated by a Physician and get treated accordingly. All the best.
