Tsh very high
My mother's tsh level has come out as high as 17.691.. what does that mean? She is taking neo- mercazole 20mg for hyperthyroid from a month now. Plz help
She needs to review her hyperthyroidism status, need of neomercazole! So review needed for her diagnosis. After taking complete history she may need to stop neomercazole for a definite timeline and review her thyroid status clinically as well as laboratory testing.
