I'm not sure this is a clinical thyroid test, but here is what I've got: On this test, TSH normal range is < 14 . On 6/16/16 TSH was 5.3, on 11/21/16 TSH was 6.6. T4 FREE normal range is .27-4.2 uIU/mL. On 1/28/10 was 3.71 uIU/mL, on 6/16/16 was 1.2, on 11/21/16 was 1.5. 2016 is when I got a copy of my tests, and asked if I should see a nephrologist as my GFR was 22. For some reason, my PCP doctor didn't think that was necessary, but my endocrinologist called her friend, and the nephrologist came in to see me when she didn't have clinic. I finally collected all my test results for as far back as I could, which showed:GFR was
40 on 11/08/11,
39 on 1/14/13 (hospital from Crestor) AST (SGOT) went to 372 u/L, ALT (SGPT ) went up to 243 (normal range for both on this test is 0-31)

14 on 6/1/17, Told I MUST start dialysis, so had PD cath buried, but my research showed no benefit to early dialysis.

9 on 4/2/18,
8 on 5/23/18 Back down to my normal weight 158 (before pregnancy 20 years ago. Insulin adjusted by perinatologist was never readjusted by doctors after birth and gained 32 pounds (190). After a while, I just adjusted it myself and lost 14 (176), but got stuck there, until I got on insulin pump. I also stopped eating gluten and lost 10 more (166), and am now at 158, eating very carefully. But now told I'm losing too much weight, and may be forced to start dialysis, although I'm still feeling pretty good, unless I try to do something strenuous, like running.
My PTH went up for a while, but it's back down to normal.
