TSH of 18.87 is high and indicates hypothyroidism, which can slow metabolism and cause weight gain or prevent weight loss. Please consult a pediatric endocrinologist and repeat the thyroid panel with Free T3, Free T4, and Anti TPO antibody tests to better assess thyroid function and confirm the diagnosis.

Question

Hello, I have a problem with the results of my blood tests. My antithyroglobulin level is 4000, while the maximum is 175. My vitamin B12 level is 157, while the minimum is 185. I am really panicked and want to know if this is life threatening?

Question

Hi sir, I have been undergoing treatment for MDR TB and have been regularly taking all prescribed medications as per my doctor instructions. These include Monopas, Ethio 250, Mycotuf C 250 mg, Levofloxacin, Benadon, Sompraz D, and Clotas EH. My recent chest X ray report shows that the left hilar shadow appears prominent. However, my blood test results are mostly normal, except for an elevated TSH level of 7.080, for which I take one tablet of Thyrox 100 daily. Please let me know what the prominent hilar shadow on the chest X ray might indicate and what steps should be taken next.
