Tsh is 15.47

My wife has thyroid disorder from last 2 years. But it was under control with the Thyronorm tablet. Usually TSH was 2,3 or 4 in the past lab tests. Last we did TSH test on 12 NOV 2020 and the TSH was 4.08.Today we do routine TSH and today the TSH is 15.47.during this period my wife didn't take the tablet regularly. So is it possible that this shoot in TSH is due to missing tablets or it could be another reason??? Please suggest Thanks

Yes, it is possible that the increase in TSH is due to not taking the tablets. Let her take the tablets regularly and check TSH and Free T4 after 2 months. If it is still high despite the regular intake of medicine, then she needs to consult a specialist for increase of dose.
