Early Hypothyroidism

2016-04-11 01:09:46
Hello Doctor, My wife'a age is 31 years and her weight is 70kgs with her height being 5.1". I have just taken her blood test as she is gaining a lot of weight (Pictures Attached) and noticed that she has early hypothyroidism. Her T3 and T4 are normal but her TSH is on the higher level.Her calcium and iron is low as well. Can you please suggest what needs to be done along with any further complications. Awaiting a reply from an endocrinologist as soon as possible please. Thankyou in advance.

She has subclinical hypothyroidism most likely which require low dose levothyroxine treatment. Get her Free T4 and anti TPO test done. She might require USG if she has neck swelling. Consult local diabetologist or endocrinologist for starting levothyroxine treatment
