Question 1

I am 23 years old, and my recent thyroid test results are: TSH: 4.826, T3: 3.26, T4: 1.02. Am I considered to have thyroid disorder? Should I change my diet? I am unable to eat rice and have to eat smaller meals.

Question 2

My father is 76 years old and has hypothyroidism. He has been taking Thyronorm 25 mcg daily for more than a year. His recent blood test results are:
T3: 90.55 ng/dL (normal range for above 50 yrs: 40 to 181 ng/dL)
T4: 4.7 microgram/dL (normal range for above 60 yrs: 5 to 10.7 microgram/dL)
TSH: 20.9 microIU/mL (normal range for 55 to 87 yrs: 0.5 to 8.9 microIU/mL)
Should his dose be changed or kept the same? If it needs adjustment, what should the new dose be?

Question 3

My hypothyroidism has been detected since last 6 years and I have been taking 75 mcg fixed dose of Thyronorm tablet with regular blood tests and check ups. Thankfully I have been able to maintain my TSH level in normal range for many years. But yesterday I got my report and my TSH level is 6.26 uIU per ml. I have been taking regular medicines. Is there anything to worry? What can I do to prevent TSH from increasing?

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.
