Thyroid tests show hypothyroidism or under active thyroid. He will need antibody testing to determine cause of hypothyroidism. Having pernicious anemia puts him at risk of developing under active thyroid. Based on the lab tests he will require thyroid medicine to control TSH level
Next Steps
Please consult online to discuss symptoms, tests and medication for hypothyroidism.
