He/she will not: Armour brand dessicated thyroid is no longer the first choice of real thyroidologists to treat hypothyroidism. Be weary of anyone foisting it on you. See a real thyroidologist to find out if you really need any replacement for subclinical hypothyroidism.

Question 3

we have case , femal patien , age 60 years, the tsh less than 0.05 while t4 in normal range , and she has not any symptom of thyroidism , is it ok ?

Accepted Answer

Subclinical hyperthy: A low TSH with a normal T4 and no symptoms is usually subclinical hyperthyroidism.  She may have a multinodular goiter that is autonomously functioning, or very early graves disease.  A T3 (liothyronine) level and free T4 level should be checked.  There is a higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation despite the normal T4 level, but many endocrinologists would just follow her levels for progression.

Anti-Tg antibodies are detectable in as many as 10 percent of the general population and 20 percent of thyroid cancer patients.
