So, I just got my thyroid hormone labs back, and honestly, looking at these numbers is making me a little twitchy:

(S) T3 >10.00 H (nmol/L) - ref. interval 1.30 - 3.10
(S) T4 >320.0 H (nmol/L) - ref. interval 66.0 - 181
(S) TSH <0.005 L (mlU/L) - ref. interval 0.27 - 4.20

I don't have my appointment with the doctor until next week to actually go over everything, so in the meantime, if anyone here actually knows what they're talking about when it comes to this stuff, how would you read into these results?

Thanks in advance!

Sandra Vaughn50 said:The leukocyte count looks solid, the absolute neutrophil numbers are right where they should be, and there’s no sign of absolute lymphocytosis. So, honestly, plenty of good news here!

I should probably mention that another name for Hashimoto is chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, which basically means your own lymphocytes are the ones attacking your thyroid, unfortunately.
So, I’d say I'm totally on board with what your family doctor told you—it really seems like these results are just due to Hashimoto.
This blood work is pretty much a textbook case. 😉

And here I was thinking I was completely losing my mind :-D
Thanks for getting back to me ;-)

Sandra Vaughn50 said:It’s honestly pretty ungrateful of me to try and comment on this without seeing the absolute numbers—specifically the leukocyte count. I mean, it's a totally different ballgame if your total white cell count is sitting at 10 versus 5. Just go ahead and Prescribe the whole CBC report here.

Hey there,
So, about a year ago, I got hit with a double whammy: Hashimoto and vitiligo. Since then, I’ve been getting my blood work checked pretty regularly, and every single time, the results show low neutrophil counts paired with high lymphocyte levels.
My latest numbers: neutrophils 42.1 (range 44 - 72); lymphocytes 48.5 (range 20 - 46).
Here’s where things get messy. My primary care doctor is basically telling me not to sweat it—he says it's just due to the inflammation in my thyroid and that everything should level out once the thyroid settles down. But on the flip side, my endocrinologist and dermatologist are totally disagreeing; they're saying this isn't caused by the thyroid at all, suggesting there might be something else going on entirely, and they think I really ought to go see a hematologist.
I guess what I'm wondering is, is there actually any reason to be worried here, or is this kind of blood work actually typical when you're dealing with Hashimoto?
