Thyroid treatment

2017-09-22 12:20:18
Hello doctor, Recently as a routine check-up, I had a thyroid test at Lal Path Labs. Result were as following : t3 - 3.5 ; t4 - 1.7; Tsh - 15.95 Even though t3 and t4 are in the normal range but what is alarming is tsh level. Its way too high compared  to normal level of 4-5.The blood sample was collected in morning time without breakfast . Could you please suggest what should I do next? Is high TSH very alarming? What specialist should I contact in case it's required?

You need to start thyroxin at this level of TSH though it's not something alarming. You may get your Anti TPO antibodies done to confirm the diagnosis of autoimmune hypothyroidism.
