N-telo/Creat. Ratio very high?

[Desperatemom24]

My daughter has had this test result come out very high for the last few draws and the doctor tells me she is losing bone rapidly.  He has told me he thinks it is because she is on aggressive thyroid medication.  Has anyone heard of this.  I'm trying to figure out if he is just saying this because he is uncomfortable with her being on T3.  Her labs are in range and she feels good but I am worried that she is going to have severe bone problems.  

Please advise?

There is no specific doctor to treat osteoporosis.  The best I can offer is to read this link and consider the suggestions there.

Thank you for the post, this is what I suspected and I just wanted to make sure.  What kind of doctor would you have treat this bone loss?

The doctor is giving you the standard excuse when uncomfortable with actually treating hypo patients adequately to relieve symptoms.  Since such clinical treatment frequently results in suppressed TSH, and a Free T3 that is in the upper part of its range, the doctor blames the wrong things.  I think you can get some better insight from this letter written by a good thyroid doctor for patients that he sometimes consults with from a distance after initial personal evaluation.  The letter is then sent to the participating PCP to help guide treatment.  Specially note the discussion about causes of bone loss.

I would push the doctor to test all the possible causes of bone loss and identify which areas are deficient.
