Blood test results

[Gwenhwyfar]

Hi everyone,
I posted in April about feeling more tired than other people and that I felt particularly tired after giving blood, like I was recovering from an illness, and this lasted for weeks.
I'm not able to find that thread any more, but I now have blood test results and would like some help with them.
All the results came back 'no action' except for bone profile. My serum inorganic phophate was 0.69 and the normal range was listed as 0.80-150.00 mmo/L. I've been retested for that and am waiting for the second set of results.
My thyroid function test came back as normal though I've read on the Internet that it may actually indicate hypothyroidism. Serum TSH level was 2.52 and T4 was 12.4. Vitamin D was 123 nmo/L.
Under full blood count, my lymphocyte count was 0.9 whereas the range was 1.00-4.5, but the mention is still 'no action'.
There are other results on the page I can give if it helps.
Thanks in advance.

Eat more phosphate containing foods (Are you veggie?) Meat, fish, dairy, pulses.
You aren't hypothyroid with a T4 of 12.4
Lymphocyte of 0.9 is not uncommon and not to worry about.

If you're still worried re hypothyroidism you could get your t3 checked but likely to need to do it privately

Mavis - I'm not quite veggie, but I avoid meat and don't eat it very often if that makes sense. Had some chicken yesterday though.

Almonds/beans/legumes would help then, as would dairy.

I'm not against eating more meat and I already eat a lot of dairy - milk with cereal in the morning and cheese. Never even considered being phosphate deficient.

Can you post the reference ranges for your results as they vary from lab to lab and it's hard to interpret them without?

But, you can be hypothyroid with a normal FT4... Unless you have a more complete panel done you can't say for sure. TSH and FT4 are not conclusive. I'd recommend TSH, FT3, FT4, both antibodies.

As well as Vitamin D your B12, folate and ferritin need to be optimal. Did you have all of these tested? Your Vitamin D is fine.

Your TSH is slightly raised but without other tests it's hard to say what's going on. What time did you have it done? Your TSH is highest early morning and drops throughout the day.

R.e. your phosphate, do any of these apply to you?

"In acute hypophosphatemia, the phosphate level in blood can suddenly fall dangerously low. Because the body uses large amounts of phosphate during recovery from certain disorders, acute hypophosphatemia may occur in people recovering from the following conditions:

Severe undernutrition (including starvation)

Diabetic ketoacidosis

Severe alcoholism

Severe burns

In chronic hypophosphatemia, the phosphate level in blood becomes low over time. Chronic hypophosphatemia usually develops because too much phosphate is excreted. Causes include the following:

Hyperparathyroidism

Chronic diarrhea

Use of diuretics for a long time

Use of large amounts of aluminum-containing antacids for a long time

Use of large amounts of theophylline (used to treat asthma)"

Results without my name and doctor details.

9am - use of antacids yes, Gaviscon tablets. Could this be it? I still need them sometimes though.
