SIGNS THAT YOU HAVE A LOW THYROID LEVEL – Hypothyroidism Symptoms

diseases No Comments »

The thyroid gland is a small organ that’s located in the front of the neck, wrapped around the windpipe aka the trachea. It is shaped like a butterfly, smaller in the middle with two wide wings that extend around the side of your throat. Your thyroid has an important job to do — releasing and controlling the levels of thyroid hormone. The main role of the thyroid hormone is to control many vital functions of your body including your metabolism. Thyroid disorders are very common. In fact, about 12% of people will experience abnormal thyroid function at some point during their lives, and an estimated 20 million people in the Unites States are suffering from some type of thyroid disorder.

Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid, is when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones to meet your body’s needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. Thyroid hormones control the way the body uses energy, so they affect nearly every organ in your body, even the way your heart beats. Without enough thyroid hormones, many of your body’s functions slow down.

Thyroid function tests (TFTs) and labs explained in under 7 minutes (ish)

diseases No Comments »

Thyroid function tests (TFTs) and labs explained easily in under 7 minutes (ish). First, we’ll be looking at the thyroid hormonal excess and once you understand the key players we’ll move on to see how I look at thyroid blood lab results. Learn how to interpret TFTs and to see if a patient has hypothyroid, euthyroid, or hyperthyroid.

Now the tricky part – how to read and analyze the blood tests when it comes to thyroid function tests (TFTs). Simples – watch the video and here are some timestamps to help guide you along the way.

0:00 – Intro
0:33 – Thyroid Hormonal Axis/The hypothalamic pituitary thyroid axis
1:26 – Primary care blood tests done in the UK
1:43 – Hyperthyroidism (Primary and secondary)
3:34 – Hypothyroidism (Primary and secondary)
5:03 – Subclinical hypothyroid/ subclinical hyperthyroid
6:34 – Outro – take attempt 675 (ish)

Thyroid Hormonal Axis:

The hypothalamus in the brain releases TRH (thyroid releasing hormone), which in turn stimulates the pituitary gland to release TSH (Thyroid secreting hormone. This pretty much does what it says on the tin. It goes to the thyroid gland and – yup you guessed it stimulates it to create T4 and T3. This, in turn, acts as a negative feedback loop back to the hypothalamus and the circle of life is complete folks!

High levels T4/T3 will slam the brakes and reduce the TRH and TSH production. Likewise low levels of T4/T3 then TRH and TSH levels rise – in order to normalize the low T4/T3.

What are normal T3, T4 and TSH (thyroid function test results)? In the UK this can vary between labs so check locally. My local labs have the following results:

TFT Normal Ranges:

TSH 0.4 – 4.0 mU/l (milliunits per litre)
FT4 9.0 – 25.0   pmol/l (picomoles per litre)
FT3 3.5 – 7.8 pmol/l (picomoles per litre)
