Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Hi, I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism due to a TSH of 9. But I would like to know what kind of hypothyroidism I have. Does anyone know which blood tests I need to ask for to be able to tell if it is an auto- immune disease? My doctor is willing to do the blood tests I ask for, but he doesn't know which ones I need! Thanks! Quote
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 You need to have thyroid antibody tests run that would be TPO, TgAb and if your doctor doesn;t know this YOU need another doctor! thisi is very basic info every doctor should know, and how can he treat you if he doesn;t even know the basics? -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote
