[QUOTE="apsjiml, post: 161930, member: 12831"] A few things that I would like to point out when it comes to elevated rt3 low free t3. or lower free t3. #1 free t3 is the active form of thyroid and the interference it has on current essays unless it is lc-ms/ms is reverse t3. They look almost identical and just testing free t3 may not give an acurate readinf That is the big reason why a person should test free t3 amd reverse t3. Otherwise free t3 could look good but it could br falsely elevated because of rt3. #2 elevated reverse t3 and deiodinase ( thyroid conversion) issues have many causes including gene defects , low iron , low growth hormone , low testosterone , any inflammation issues - back pain to anything that involves inflammation. Actually above that anyone with pituitary dysfunction or Thyroid dysfunction such as hashimotos for that matter will lack deiodinase and will have a conversion issue. They have even discovered some people witb conditions like pulmonary fibrosis for example actually lack deiodinase within the lung tissue for example. So , to get a complete picture you really need a full thyroid panel with total and free t3. ( the reason for that is because some patients have elevated thyroid binding globulin or t3 anyobodies that may give false low total t3 but yet false high free t3 and you want to test reverse t3 , tsh free and total t4.
