i actually just went to the doctor today with similar results!. i have known i have had hypothyroidism for 3 months now, and they just upped the dosage of my levothyroxine because my TSH levels were still low!. my liver came back elevated (they think) due to the condition and the weight it has made me put on, but they are ordering an ultrasound just to be sure, which is probably what they will do for you too!. if your levels are high with thyroid, it is hyperthyroidism which is the opposite of what i have, so i don't think that would affect your liver!. if you drink heavily or anything like that it can really affect the liver by causing fatty liver disease!. there is also non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which is what i most likely have from the added weight i have gained due to thyroid problems!. the anemia doesn't make too much sense to me unless you are obviously bleeding, of course!. hyper/hypo thyroid problems can cause a very uneven menstrual cycle and that is what is causing my own anemia, longer than usual cycles!. hope this helps some! i am no doctor, but you seemed to be having similar problems! don't freak out - you'll be ok ;DWww@Answer-Health@Com
I just read a book, called the complete thryoid book by dr!. ain and he says that fully 20% of all women having babies have thyroid problems following!. it usually does clear up on its own, but if not, is easily treated by medication!. usually the TSH numbers (which should be between !.3 and 3!.0) are lower than normal, making you tired, cold, depressed!. his idea is that it could be why women get the postpartum blues in many cases!. as for anemia, that is very common after giving birth!. eating more iron, and taking good care of yourself will help with that!. liver function!? I don't know!. I do know that you should always ask for copies of your tests to be sent to you!. it gives you time to digest them, and research them!.!.!.!.also, if you have the tests done again in a month or 3, you can compare them yourself!.!.!.doctors are busy and we can do alot to advocate for ourselves!.good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm not sure about the liver, but I know there's something called hyper-thyrodism that some women get after having a baby, it usually evens out after a while!. Having a baby can also sometimes cause anemia, especially if you lost a lot of blood!.
