A member asked:
What kind of test i have to do to diagnostic a central hypothyroidism ? my tsh and ft3 are normal, but ft4 is low. is that enought?

Pituitary tests: Central hypothyroidism is very rare, and typically occurs in association with other problems of the pituitary gland. You should have testing of other pituitary function (prolactin, lh, fsh, igf-1, estradiol, cortisol). You may need to see an endocrinologist for a proper diagnosis.
