Dear Doctor,
For my wife, I got the Thyroid Function Test for her and the report as on 15-12-2023 says -
Triiodothyronine (T3) 1.05 ng/mL
Thyroxine (T4) 10.60 μg/dL
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) 4.26 mlU/L
Earlier report (approx. 6 months back) dated 29-06-2023 was as under –
Triiodothyronine (T3) 0.98 ng/mL
Thyroxine (T4) 6.90 μg/dL
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) 8.36 mlU/L
It means TSH has reduced from 8.36 to 4.26 which is in normal range of 0.46-4.68.
For Thyroid, she was taking Thyrox-25 Tablet on daily basis in the morning. Whether she should stop taking Thyrox-25 now as now it is in normal range?
Kindly advise.
Ans: Please check the source of Iodine in your diet.Also with the start of treatment ,you need to have the values coming down and not going up.Hold back the Thyroxine ,repeat the tests after three months.
