- I am an 18-year-old female, and I just received some blood work results. I have high cholesterol, low iron, slightly low free T4, slightly low T3, slightly high TSH, high potassium, high calcium, slightly low glucose, slightly high BUN, slightly high ALT, and a positive ANA. My doctor thinks it's hypothyroidism, but not severe enough for medication. I also have all the symptoms of Hashimoto thyroiditis, but I am underweight. What should I do now? Does this look like Hashimoto thyroiditis? Will my blood work labs likely get worse or turn fully into Hashimoto thyroiditis?
