Abnormal TSH level and pernicious anaemi
My brother was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia after the consultation with a doctor .the doctor had prescribed 2ml victofol injection in intervals of a month but due to course of corona pandemic and the lockdown he was unable to take injections at time after which he had his injection in october after that he had not taken care of it and had not taken injection from then now according to reports he has normal vit . B12 content(467pg/ml) in blood but has been diagnosed with abnormal TSH levels
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.
