@drjolenebrighten: Replying to @Uhhhhhhhhhlyssa When it comes to thyroid labs, we want to follow up on abnormal TSH with repeat labs and correlate the labs to patient symptoms. TSH is the brain hormone that communicates to the thyroid Free T4 is what the thyroid makes Free T3 is the active thyroid hormone that helps regulate you mood, metabolism, menstrual cycle, and gut. Some of it is produced by the thyroid, but much of it is converted in tissues outside of the thyroid. TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies detect autoimmune disease, the number one cause of hypothyroidism. There are ranges on the labs in which you will see some antibodies, but we don’t want them detectable outside the reference range. Hope this helps #thyroid #thyroidlabs #hypothyroidism #hypothyroid #hormones
