    Hey ,

    This looks good. The TSH-Receptor Antibodies are used to test for graves disease, which is an autoimmune disease causing a fast thyroid. In my opinion, you don’t need to test for that.

    The fT3 is most important to determine if you have a slow thyroid. The reverse T3 will rule out or confirm if stress plays a role.

    The antibodies test will rule out or confirm autoimmune diseases as well as we can.

    On these labs, we only miss T4 & T3. If stress & autoimmune are ruled out, T4 & T3 could tell us how well the conversion from T4 to fT4 goes and how well T3 to fT3 goes.

    We would then have stronger evidence that some thyroid nutrients might be missing, possibly to absorption issues. 

    Perhaps  might have another opinion on this, but to me, this looks fine!

      same – if total T4 and total T3 can be measured as well, this would help complete the picture.
