Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 In addition to the hypothalamus, pituitary, and thyroid glands there are other reasons for high or low T3 blood levels. High levels can be created by excessive conversion of T4 to T3 or deficient T3 clearance. Low leverls can be created by deficient conversion or excessive clearance of T3. Since the conversion is dependent upon other chemicals, enzymes, etc., these should be noted as well. However, it is not. The appropriate tests are not even recommended in medical guidelines. It is if the post thyroid functions are still in the medical dark ages. Well, they really are.... I am reminded of two women whose conditions are not explained by current endocrinology practice. The first has a TSH near zero but still has symptoms of hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism. The second, has a TSH of 60 but still has symptoms of hyperthyroidism, not hypothyroidism. Only different conversion efficiencies can explain these counterexamples to the TSH indication of hyper or hypothyroidism. Although endocrinology practice can not fathom this problem, medical science can. The reason that endocrinology can not fathom this probem is simple. Like mushrooms, endocrinologists are kept quite in the dark by the masters of their profession.
