TSH of 8.75 shows mild hypothyroidism. Before treatment, get a Free T4 test. Depending on results and symptoms, your father may either need a small dose of thyroid medicine or just monitoring. Treatment is lifelong only if Free T4 is low; otherwise, many elderly patients do well without daily medication.

Need few more details for proper understanding of your issue. You can consult with me online on Practo or whatsapp on eight three one eight four six nine eight eight six for proper diagnosis, conclusion and management

Please consult

Need to do a complete thyroid profile

If the T3 and T4 are normal with elevated TSH, it's known as subclinical hypothyroidism.You can get his anti tpo antibody test to see if hehas autoimmune thyroiditis.He requires treatment if only he is symptomatic or his TSH level is more than 10

TSH of 8.75 suggests hypothyroidism, most likely mild to moderate. If the rest of the thyroid panel (T3/T4) is normal and he has no major symptoms, this is usually called subclinical hypothyroidism, but it still needs evaluation.

TSH 8.75 suggests underactive thyroid (likely sub-clinical). ✅ Before consulting doctor, useful tests: Free T4 Anti-TPO antibodies Repeat TSH after 6–8 weeks (if no symptoms) ✅ Medicine is NOT always lifelong If Free T4 is normal & no symptoms, doctor may observe and repeat tests. If symptomatic, Free T4 low, or Anti-TPO positive, thyroxine may be started. Lifelong treatment depends on cause (e.g., autoimmune = usually long-term). ⚠️ Get urgent care if he has severe fatigue, swelling, low heart rate, or very high TSH (>10).

A TSH of 8.75 in a 75-year-old indicates subclinical or early hypothyroidism, even if the other thyroid parameters look normal. Before deciding whether he genuinely needs long-term treatment, a few things must be clarified: ✔️ Whether he has symptoms – fatigue, cold intolerance, constipation, imbalance, weight changes, leg swelling, slow heart rate etc. ✔️ Repeat TSH + Free T4 after a short interval to confirm the pattern ✔️ TPO antibodies – to check whether it is autoimmune thyroiditis (which changes long-term management) ✔️ Review of his medications, as some drugs in older adults can artificially alter thyroid levels ✔️ Assessment of heart status, because starting thyroid medication in elderly patients requires careful titration to avoid cardiac strain. Whether he needs lifelong medication or a short corrective course depends entirely on the above factors. At his age, treatment must be customized blanket advice often does more harm than good. If you want, I can review his reports and symptoms together and guide you step-by-step on what exactly needs to be done next.

Can help you, kindly consult and provide detailed history for proper diagnosis and further management

If the TSH was previously fine before this reading and he has no symptoms (see below what symptoms) related to thyroid, then have the TSH repeated in 4 weeks before any treatment. If he has symptoms like weight gain, memory issues which are new, excessive sleep or tiredness, recently becoming more constipated then needs treatment. This will be Thyronorm 25mcg once a day in the morning and once treatment is started have a repeat TSH in 4 weeks to see if the dose of Thyronorm needs increasing. In older patients always the starting dose of Thyronorm need to be lower like 25mcg to avoid unexpected complications. This is a long term treatment so once started to continue for life. All the best. J G S R
