TSH level of 13.01 is hypothyroidism.you can upload the free T4 and T3 results.As he is an elderly person , thyroxin replacement should be started at a lower dose and adjusted accordingly testing his TSH level every 4 to 6 weeks till you see the desired levels for age 70 of TSH between 4to 6 miu/l.
