The thyroid labs I found are:



tpo

tsh

t3 total

t3 reverse

t3 uptake

t3 free

t4 free

t4 total

thyroglobulin antibodies

thyroid peroxiase

tgab

tbg

tsh antibody



My physician only does TSH and T4. According to stop the thyroid madness that is insufficient. Is this accurate? Should I get any more to detect problems?

I was recently diagnosed as having "sub clinical" hypothyroidism with a borderline low TSH of 5 and my symptoms.  I was given low dose T3 and feel 100% better. My TSH is hovering around 2.4 now.  In terms of testing I did:

 

tsh

 

t3 total

t3 reverse

t3 uptake

t3 free

t4 free

t4 total

thyroglobulin antibodies

 

None of these tests indicated anything significant except my borderline TSH.
