I'm a 51-year-old with a weight of 62 kg, and I've been on 88 mcg of medication a day for hypothyroidism for the past 6 months. I just got my thyroid profile results, and they show my T3 is 0.98, T4 is 7.93, and TSH is 12.58. What should I do now?

-It seems your TSH level is still higher than the normal range, indicating that your thyroid may not be fully optimized with the current dosage of 88 mcg. I recommend discussing with your doctor about adjusting your medication or exploring other treatment

I'm trying to understand if my SerumCHODPAP levels with an ATCS of 324.8 are considered abnormal. Could you provide some guidance on this? I'm a bit concerned and just want to make sure everything's okay.

A serum CHOD-PAP level of 324.8 is within the normal range. CHOD-PAP is an enzyme used to measure levels of phosphatase in the body, and a level of 324.8 is not considered abnormal. No specific treatment is needed for this result.
