I am taking the diuretic furosemide (Lasix) and my thyroid tests are now abnormal-is there a connection?

Some assays that measure free thyroid hormone levels may give abnormal results due to an interaction between the drug and thyroid binding proteins, leading to a spurious increase in levels of Free T4 and Free T3, as outlined in Effect of oral frusemide on diagnostic indices of thyroid function Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 1987 Apr;26(4):423-31 and Interaction of furosemide with serum thyroxine-binding sites: in vivo and in vitro studies and comparison with other inhibitors J Clin Endocrinol Metab.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
