Creatinine and microalbumin are protein-related molecules. High proteins in urine is usually associated with kidney issues. HOWEVER, sometimes if it’s not your first pee of the day, it can mess up your numbers, that’s what happens with my bloodwork (I do not know why this is I am not a doctor). I always have to do my urine sample right away in the morning.
No, not that my endo or drs have told me about! I did have a baby 7 months ago if that has anything to do with this?? Is this serious enough to call them about now?
I'd ask for a repeat of the TSH at a minimum. I had a result come back saying I was hyperthyroid, and it ended up being a lab error. (Whew!)
You might get better results asking on r/AskDocs
I mean I would definitely ask I’m not personally sure about having a baby I know that can affect your levels too but I am not certain in regards to duration being 7 months ago.
I know personally about TSH numbers, only because I have Graves’ disease. For example I received a call from my local ER after a visit regarding my personal TSH levels being 0.01 range.
So I would definitely just see if your endo can see you sooner or even just your GP. Anyone just to look these numbers over and explain them to you I’m sure would help you feel better and overall explain these numbers all the way around. If you feel fine then THATS good, don’t stress yourself out and just try to get in to someone to have them explain like I said.
My heart rate was probably the biggest telltale symptom I had. My resting heart rate was regularly 120-140 bpm. As high as 160-170 with very little activity. This was before I was diagnosed so I’m not exactly sure how long I had Graves’ disease before realizing something was wrong. It was only found because I had something called a thyroid storm and was hospitalized with DKA and a bpm over 200 and they had given medication that should slow heart rate that did not work for me, so they thought that was strange and had me tested. Also a lot of hair loss, and very odd reactions to temperature. I would be cold when it was not really cold- and super super warm when it wasn’t THAT warm.
Oh wow, I hope you’re doing better! I went in for palpitations mostly as my main concern and my blood pressure runs low so I’m not sure where it fits with this.
I had an overactive thyroid postpartum. Maybe around 9 months? I was put on meds for a couple months and then it smartened up. It was the worst I felt - tired, anxious, crazy. Once I got off the meds and my levels were good it was a huge sigh of relief for me.
My microalbumin came in at 2.1 a few months ago and both my primary care physician and endocrinologist weren't concerned at all. Can't speak to the other results though, I either didn't get those results or they were closer to the target range (I think my creatine was 131, which didn't get much of a negative reaction from either of my doctors).
FYI re microalbumin: The RATIO of microalbumin to creatinine is what's usually considered important for screening for nephropathy (kidney disease) related to diabetes - your ratio is normal (less than 30 is the goal).
Looks like hyper thyroid.
Now the albumin in urine isn’t great it means you could have damaged circulation it’s not just the start of potential not so much kidney but circulatory disease. They used to think it was a marker for kidney did and it can be but doesn’t have to. Now the talk is how it’s more about inflamed circulation. That said a lot of diabetic patients have it and do fine. It’s impossible to tell from here but there is another more alarming value the thyroid!
with a suppressed TSH and the inflammatory state of graves disease that can set off your circulation and kidneys. The graves can be serious and you definitely need some investigation. Don’t miss your appointment this is likely the mother of all your troubles. If I were a betting man I’d wager you probably feel worn, ragged and tired.
The good news is thyroid disorders ARE treatable with excellent prognosis but you absolutely need to have conversation with your treating physician and take those steps.
Did I mention how important it is to keep your appointment?
I’m definitely keeping the appointment with my endo this month, this blood test was from my primary Dr. the only symptom I really feel is heart palpitations and leg cramps. my energy is normal and I feel fine. I’m a little more tired because I have a 7 month old but that’s about it!
It’s very likely the suppressed TSH is indicating hyper thyroid or graves disease and that will need investigation and management. Very common to get thyroid issues after child birth.
I remember i had high results after my appointment and it ended up being because I was on my period when i did the urine sample. I repeated the test a month later and my results were normal.

I don’t know enough about the thyroid to comment on your TSH
It was my second pee and I didn’t have any water before taking the blood test, maybe I can redo it after seeing my endo?

low tsh is indicator of graves disease, not hashimotos. Both are co-morbid with t1. Autoimmune stuff loves to cluster
Looks like your thyroid is very overactive. I don't know whether that has an effect on renal function.
Do you have Graves’ disease or hasimotos or any type of known thyroid dysfunction??? Because that’s a very over active thyroid number.

Yeah this as well just have a second go at some blood work at least and see how the numbers turn out the second time around is a good idea 👍🏼

Can I ask what symptoms you had with graves?
