Done Blood Test. What Do I Need To Do?

Posted on Sat, 21 Jul 2012

Question: My blood test report indicated the following:
T3: 208.8
T4:15.5
TSH:0.03
What do I need to do?

Dear XXXXXXX
Your thyroid report is suggestive of thyrotoxicosis. Thyrotoxicosis means excess thyroid hormone levels in the blood. There are two main causes for this problem- Graves' disease and thyroiditis. To differentiate between the two you have to get Tc 99m thyroid scan. I advice you see an endocrinologist after this test.
