tu4four Posted October 22, 2013 Report Posted October 22, 2013 TPO Ab is 31 (high) range is 0-26 Triiodothyronine free serum is 5.5 (high) range is 2.3-5.0 These are my daughter's labs that came back today. Tsh and t4 were normal. I've been hoping for something that might point to hashimoto's encephalopathy or something that would qualify her for ivig---even through I know that the first line of treatment for that is long term steroids. Dd11 has lyme band positive--key ones, so i hoping..... Anybody know about levels like these? Thanks.
tu4four Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Posted October 22, 2013 Okay that sounded wrong....I just meant to say that I hope no doc would insist on long term steroid treatment for HE and that we could cut to the chase and go to ivig.
T_Anna Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 We had TPO of 32, but the thyroid antibodies and SED and ACE rates were VERY high. T.Anna
lfran Posted October 23, 2013 Report Posted October 23, 2013 What was the actual TSH? The "normal" range on the lab results are regarded as too high, even by many mainstream docs. You usually want a TSH of 2.0 or below in order to feel good.
tu4four Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Posted October 23, 2013 Her tsh was 1.3. I am hoping this is all going to point to autoimmune and the neurologist will look for encephilitis.
lfran Posted October 24, 2013 Report Posted October 24, 2013 1.3 is great. Hope you get the results you're seeking!
