Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi gang, I have attached the lab values sheet that I got from DTs office (hope you don't mind, DT). I would also add: Optimal values FT3 375+/- 30 FT4 1.4 +/- .2 Total T4 8.5 +/- .5 Total T3 125 +/- 15 I also have a question for you all. Does anyone use T3 uptake or FTI anymore? It seems that FT3 and FT4 would be more reliable and eliminate need for these others. Is there anything I'm missing here? Also, how about loooking at iron status? I usu just do total Iron (which is almost always normal) and Ferritin (which is much more representative of Iron status anyway). Is there a benefit to doing TIBC as well?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Here is the reference packet from 3docs (not sure if on their website but I got a disc from them some time ago). I hope you can all view it. It's an adobe file. Kim Wetzlerkim wetzler <kimwetzler@...> wrote: Hi gang, I have attached the lab values sheet that I got from DTs office (hope you don't mind, DT).
