Hi, I recently had my thyroid stimulating hormone tested using ECLIA. The adult reference range is 0.3 to 5.5, and my TSH level is 5.69. I am 24 years old and underweight. Could you please help me understand the results of this thyroid test and if any treatment or further action is needed?

Your TSH level is slightly elevated, indicating possible early hypothyroidism. Being underweight could also be linked to metabolic issues. Consult an endocrinologist to confirm diagnosis and assess if treatment is needed.
Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...
Take a Tri Iodothyronine (T3, Total), Serum Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

She was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 2 years ago. She was prescribed to take Thyronorm 50 and was advised not to stop it. However, now her T3 and T4 levels are within the reference range. Today she had palpitations with quite a lot of sweat. She says she feels better if she does not take the prescribed tablet but she is afraid too. Please let me know what needs to be done. Attached are the last blood test reports.

Dear Sir, My mother is an elderly patient with a history of dyspepsia, hypertension, and hypothyroidism. Her gallbladder was removed 8 years ago. She does not have diabetes, weighs around 95 kg, and is 68 years old. For the past 15 days, she has been experiencing pain in the groin area, which feels more like muscle or blood vessel pain rather than joint pain. I am wondering if this could be related to her elevated TSH level, which is reported as 7.8 in her latest lab report. She is currently taking Thyrox 100, Tazloc H 80, Metolar XR 50, Rose Day 10, and calcium supplements. I have attached her latest lab report and the most recent prescription for your reference. Please advise
