Is There Any Connection Between High Cholesterol, TSH, Elevated Creatinine And Prediabetes?

is there any connecton between high cholesterol, high TSH, slightly elevated creatinine and prediabetes? I am a 44 year old male and do have sme symptoms of hypothyroidism, however inmstead have beeing cold, I am always extremely warm! My weight is 180 lbs and I am 5'9". I am always hungry, but nothing seems to help my food cravings, so I don't eat much. I know I am not really over weight, but still can't seem to lose the 10-15 lbs I would like.

Hello,
Thank you for asking on HCM!

The symptoms you described may be suggestive for hypothyroidism but i should be confirmed with lab exams. High TSH level may be the cause of high cholesterol level but is nor related to prediabetes and high creatinine.

When I see someone like you in my practice, I typically order the following blood tests in addition to a detailed physical examination:

-CBC (Complete Blood Count, also known as Hemogram; includes Hemoglobin, WBC and Platelet counts)
-Electrolytes (Sodium and Potassium in particular)
-HbA1c (Glycosylated Hemoglobin = your last 3 months' glucose average).
-Liver function tests (SGOT , SGPT, Albumin, Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphatase)
-Kidney function tests (BUN, Creatinine)
-TSH (checks your thyroid)
-Free T4 (this too checks your thyroid)
-25 hydroxy Vitamin D levels (ideal range 40 to 60 ng/ml = 100 to 150 nmol/liter)
-Calcium

None of these tests require any fasting and can be done at any time of the day.
