I'm wondering if a TSH level of 12.20 Micro IUmL is considered normal or high? If it is high, how many micrograms should a 33-year-old woman take to manage it? Could you give me some guidance?

Elevated Bilirubin and Liver Enzymes _Interpretation_ 1. _Total Bilirubin_: Above 1.5 mgdL is mildly elevated. 2. _SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT)_: Above 50 UL is mildly elevated. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Liver inflammation_: Mild elevation in liver enzymes can indicate liver inflammation. 2. _Bile duct obstruction_: Elevated bilirubin can indicate bile duct obstruction or liver dysfunction. 3. _Medication side effects_: Certain medications can cause elevated liver enzymes. 4. _Underlying medical conditions_: Conditions like fatty liver disease, viral hepatitis, or autoimmune hepatitis. _Recommendations_ 1. _Repeat tests_: Repeat liver function tests (LFTs) and bilirubin levels to confirm the elevations. 2. _Imaging studies_: Consider ultrasound or MRI of the liver and bile ducts to rule out obstruction or structural abnormalities. 3. _Autoimmune and viral markers_: Test for autoimmune hepatitis and viral hepatitis (e.g., hepatitis B and C) to rule out underlying infections. 4. _Medication review_: Review your medications with your doctor to determine if any are contributing to the elevated liver enzymes. 5. _Consult a gastroenterologist_: Consider consulting a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and guidance. _Quantity Follow-Up_ 1. _Regular monitoring_: Regularly monitor your LFTs and bilirubin levels to track any changes. 2. _Adjust frequency_: Adjust the frequency of follow-up appointments based on the stability of your test results.
