Accepted Answer

Rather high: It is high enough to warrant treatment even if your T4 is normal.Your T3 (liothyronine) should be checked also

Question 3

what does a tsh level of 11.760 and a cholesterol level of 210 mean in ateenager?

Accepted Answer

Too high: It could mean hyperthyroidism and the cholesterol could be elevated due to that. The teenager needs a full evaluation by the pediatrician because depending on the family history and clinical findings this is serious and needs to be treated

Question 4

my tsh level is 12.22 what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Under active thyroid: TSH level is elevated when the thyroid is under active (hypothyroidism). Depending on the reference range for the lab performing the test, this level would be mildly elevated, suggestive of hypothyroidism. Your doctor may want to repeat the test to confirm and look at the clinical picture to decide treatment is needed.

Question 5

my tsh level came 9.1? what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Repeat: A one time elevation of a blood test should  be verified. Your doc will likely repeat it and then do further tests of thyroid function. It may mean that your thyroid is not functioning properly, which can be due to hypothyroidism, which is a very common disease and easily treated. But other things can cause it and your doctor has more info on you: ask him/her.

Question 6

what does a thyrotropin tsh level 1.4 mean?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Hi. At face value and in the vast majority of cases, that TSH represents normal thyroid fountain; the one exception would be pituitary disease. That's why we endocrinologists always get a TSH and a free T4. But in the VAST majority of cases, TSH alone is OK, and yours is good and normal. To your health!

Question 7

my tsh level is a 10.3. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

It is high.: This means it is high.  The normal range is approximately 0.4-5.0 mu/l.  Your level is 10.3.  This is highly indicative of hypothyroidism and more tests, especially thyroid, are needed.  It is wise to see your doctor and get a full work-up.

Question 8

my tsh level is low 0.43   what does this mean exactly?

Accepted Answer

More workup: Currently, it points to hyperthyroidism but you need to complete the work up to know for sure.  At the very least, i would repeat the TSH along with the free hormones T4 and t3 (liothyronine).  If they also point to hyperthyroidism, then proceed further to find the exact cause for this.  Tsh alone does not give you a complete picture.

Question 9

what does a low tsh level mean?

Accepted Answer

Need to look at T3 (liothyronine): And free t4. Low tsh, depending on the sensitivity of the assay, indicates thyroid hyper-function. However, the suspected hyperthyroidism needs to be confirmed with high levels of T3 (liothyronine) and free t4. All lab tests need to be evaluated in the clinical context and it would be prudent to take up the issue with your doctor.

Question 10

tsh level is .17 in emergency room . what does that mean? please someone help me?

Accepted Answer

: Are you taking thyroid replacement hormone.  If so it is probably fine unless you are having symptoms of hyperthyroidism and then may need to reduce your dose of replacement hormone.  If you are no on thyroid replacement hormone I would not worry about the TSH.  Probably means your thyroid is working fine.
