[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 21954, member: 696"] Don, we've chatted before about the nuances at KP. Someone saying that the TSH Lab is the most "sensitive" lab to use for gauging Hypothyroidism is totally misguided. If I go digging, I will find at least 10 posts on this forum alone, where members TSH was < 2.0 , yet there free serum on T4 & T3 are respectfully anywhere from 0 to 30% of the reference range. If the TSH / Thyroid feedback loop was a fail-proof setup, then that would be great. However, it's not, and it should always be used in conjunction with all the other labs that are available to make an assessment. In severe cases of adrenal imbalance, take for instance when it's a result of estrogen dominance, it's quite common to see thyroid serum levels at the very, very bottom of the chart (actually under the reference range), yet TSH will also be tanked; talking 0.5 and under. Dr. Uzzi Riess recognizes it, Dr. Bruce Rind recognizes it, Dr. Michael Lam recognizes it, as does a multitude of other specialists in the thyroid/adrenal medical field. I'm lucky my GP at KP doesn't take that approach, but way too many at KP want to think their limited study in this particular area is the gospel. It's not, and knowledge can debate ignorance any day of the week!! [/QUOTE]
