Dear lybrate-user, let us know what your original t3 t4 tsh values were before yu started thyxoid medication. You should also tell us if you improved in terms of your symtoms after thyroid medication and what your curretn height and weight are. Hypothyroidism per se can increase the cholesterol levels in blood and when severe, can cause fatty liver. On the other hand fatty liver is most commonly seen on very overweight (obese) subjects with a tendency for diabetes.
