An online medical consultancy. Research-based approach, tested doctors, education for doctors and consulting clients.
In our consultancy, we only keep anonymized, redacted copies of laboratory tests and of other medical information of our consulting clients.
It is helpful, if our consulting clients sent us their laboratory tests and other information already in redacted form, already without their personal information.
![Altered concentrations of thyroid hormones in certain life situations - an attempt to conceptualize that contains errors - image source - Chatzitomaris, 2017. FigURe 1 | Altered concentrations of thyroid hormones in certain life situations may result from type 1 allostatic load (comprising thyrotropic adaptation, hypodeiodination, and decreased protein binding of thyroid hormones), type 2 allostatic load [showing increased thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) release, hyperdeiodination, and augmented binding of thyroid hormones to plasma proteins], and non-homeostatic mechanisms including methodological interferences (53).](https://medical-en.nneandersphysiologicalliteracy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Altered-concentrations-of-thyroid-hormones-in-certain-life-situations-an-attempt-to-conceptualize-that-contains-errors-image-source-Chatzitomaris-2017-560x226.jpg)
We recommend the following tests to assess thyroid function: TSH, total T4, free T4, total T3, free T3.
For thyroid hormone replacement therapy, reverse T3 may also be useful, especially, for people on low carb diets or practicing caloric restriction.
This article is a “Test of Physiological Literacy” derived from the discussion with one of our community members. The discussion is about the topics from a related test of physiological literacy and the answers that our community member proposed.
Our notes on urinary creatinine.
This test can be used to assess a medical practitioner. If a medical practitioner is intimidated by tests, or if he or she gives a reply that is too far away from the context, it is a medical practitioner to avoid.
Chronic alcoholism, nutritional fetishes, and the use of
certain medications may be causal factors in blood cell or coagulation
protein disorders.
