My wife weight is 70 kgs and height is 5 feet 1 inch. Her T3 and T4 are normal but her TSH is on the higher side. Pictures of the report are attached. Can you please let me know what needs to be done along with a description of its complications? The test report was done from Thyrocare lab. Is it okay or should I get the test done from another lab? I am awaiting an urgent response from an endocrinologist. Thanks a lot in advance.

This indicates subclinical hypothyroidism. If symptomatic or planning pregnancy, treatment with thyroxine may be started. Thyrocare lab is valid.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test
