Re: Lab Results with ranges (JANIE)

Janie,

I am NOT trying to be arrogant, just genuinely interested because i am

learning too but, isn't the T3 value on the high side and something to

be concerned about, or is the t3 not as significant as the free t3

(which did not have done). Thanks .

You are right, , it is on the high side. But it represents the

total T3, and not what is unbound and available, as the free T3

represents. Without knowing the free T3, it's hard to say. But yes,

it's high.

By the way, I forgot to mention that the things which most commonly

bind T3 are estrogen, iron, and calcium.
