[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, I've identified an endocrinologist to call and make an appointment. Out of curiosity, what were your TRAB levels when your Graves disease was active, and were your other thyroid results abnormal as well? My TSH and other antibody tests were in the normal range (although TSH was below 1, low normal). But given that an ophthalmologist suggested the test after my exam is enough to make me concerned. [/quote]TRAB is good, but TSI is the most specific test for Graves. Some endocrinologists hesitate because it costs more and the sample often has to be sent out to specialty labs (Mayo Clinic). The results can take up to a week, but it is definitive for Graves. When I was first diagnosed my TSH was undetectable, but the change happened quickly. Just a few months prior my TSH was 1.1.[/quote]
