What happens when FT3 is 2.72 and FT4 is 1.05 and TSH is 7.18?

T4 is storage hormone and is inactive. It is converted to T3, which is the active form of the hormone that your cells use. The tests FT3 and FT4 tell how much of the hormone is in your blood, unbound to other proteins and hormones so they can be converted or utilized by the body. TSH is the hormone from your pituitary gland near your brain that tells your thyroid to produce more hormone.

A low FT4 and FT3 will result in an elevated TSH, indicating hypothyroidism - your thyroid isn't producing enough thyroid hormone.

A high FT4 and FT3 will result in a decreased TSH, indicating hyperthyroidism - your thyroid is producing too much thyroid hormone.

Normal levels of FT3 and FT4 may indicate several issues, including a problem with the pituitary gland itself; or a change in thyroid supplementation and testing that has occurred before TSH levels have had an opportunity to reflect those changes.

There are other causes of hormonal abnormalities, but an endocrinologist will know the correct tests to use to determine a diagnosis and potential treatment for abnormalities that are found.

Should cloning be used to create the perfect human?

Hi! Human cloning can probably be perfected but scientists are not that advanced yet. I'm working on an essay for human and animal cloning. Animal cloning has been successful with Dolly the Sheep and others but most of them have died young. Others also say that cloning has hidden DNA damage. So animal cloning is close to perfection-really close they have been successful but humans don't want to risk being tested unless scientists are absolutely sure. We have a while to wait!

What does a increased liver function low white blood cell count and hyperthyroidism mean?

It means something is wrong with your liver. You could have a disease like hepatitis a, b, or c, or liver cancer, or be on chemotherapy or be taking some medicine that affects your liver or have recently eaten something that disagreed with you and made you really sick so the poison has not yet left your liver. Your liver is fighting something. What is the question. Your doctor has just performed a general test and has determined there is a problem with your liver. Next your doctor might perform a more specific blood test such as one to check for hepatitis a, b, and c. That test is quick. Then there is an MRI of the liver. That checks for cancer. If you have liver cancer, you may have an in situ operation. I have heard of the Mayo Clinic having success with that. Whatever it is, it involves your liver.

What I've read about coconut is it stimulates your thyroid, therefore, may make it more hyper. To be on the safe side avoid it if you have an overactive thyroid. However, if someone has a hypothyroid (slow so you gain weight), it may help stimulate your thyroid in order to lose weight.
