AAM> Dear all,
AAM> We need help in these set of results
AAM> An 18-year-old male presented to the
AAM> ophthalmologist with lid retraction and
AAM> lid lag. Physical examination hasn’t been
AAM> done. No H/O any medical disorder
AAM> and he is not on any medication. His TFT
AAM> results were measured on Elecsys
AAM> 2010:
AAM> TSH < 0.005 (0.27-4.2 µIU/mL)
AAM> FT4 10.2 (12-22 pmol/L)
AAM> FT3 4.6 (3-5.9 pmol/L)
AAM> Repeated TFT on Architect to eliminate any
AAM> possibility of interference:
AAM> TSH < 0.003 (0.3 - 4.3 mIU/L)
AAM> FT4 7.8 (8.4 -22.6 pmol/L)
AAM> FT3 3.8 (3-5.9 pmol/L)
AAM> Other hormone were measured ;
AAM> FSH 3.4 (1-8 IU/L)
AAM> LH 2.3 (2-14 IU/L)
AAM> PRL 168 (21-360 mIU/L)
AAM> And anti- thyroid peroxidase antibodies were
AAM> 16 IU/L (< 10 negative)
AAM> What do you think about such results ? and
AAM> what further tests/actions will
AAM> you do?
