HBGL Haemoglobin (g/L) 171 g/L 130-170 HIGH
EO Eosinophils 7.2% 0.53 x10^9/L 0.0-0.4 HIGH
ALT Alanine transaminase 52 IU/L 10-50 HIGH
TRIG Triglyceride 3.6mmol/L 0.4-2.3 HIGH
HDL Cholesterol 0.7 mmol/L 0.9-1.5 LOW
TSH Thyroid stimulating hormone 4.56mIU/L 0.27-4.20 HIGH
I requested these results for my own perusal, but I am not seeing the endocrinologist until November. These were just the results that were flagged, but more were tested and came back within normal range.
It appears I may have a thyroid dysfunction, and as the thyroid is regulated by the pituatry gland which is further regulated by the hypothalamus which releases a hormone called tyhrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) - in my case high, I suspect what will happen next is that I will be referred for a brain scan of my pituatry and hypothalamus. This is not the first time my Haemoglobin has been high.
If my hyopthalamus and pituatry are found to be healthy then the thyroid itself is either over or underworked, and then perhaps I will look at diet (iodine).
Thankfully now I have hard data. If you look at these readings a lot of them tie into the lifelong problems I've had - itchy/flaky/skin infections, ear infections, terrible energy levels... this could relate to me EC/lip dermatitis, which I'm hoping it will.
I'm not sure now whether to suspend my appointment with a private nutritionist until I have seen the endocrinologist. Further progress nonetheless.
