Amenorrhea profile test results

somethingblue2u · 11-02-2009, 03:01 PM

Could you guys help me out with my results?

everything was normal except for:

T3 Uptake ---- 56.8 (too high, should be 27.3 - 42%)
DHEA SULFATE -- 85.2 (too low, 98.8 - 340 ug/dL)

What does this mean?

T3 uptake is really a T4 test (and unnecessary, btw, waste of time and money) in disguise...it's a T4 binding test. Where's the rest of your thyroid tests? Need to see the FT4, FT3, TPO with lab ranges. That test you have does NOT test T3 thyroid hormone.

There are two great thyroid docs in Indiana. Your tests are quite normal...for someone with thyroid disease, and was that doctors dinosaur in the room? Cuz a T7 is so outdated, I haven't seen one done in over ten YEARS. It's not a bummer, you just have an asshat for a doctor. Ready for someone to help you? Ft. Wayne Endocrinology. Dr. Ashok Kadambi. Make an appointment....get some treatment. End of story.
