A member asked:

My mom got her thyroid tested. t3 (liothyronine) & t4 are normal but tsh is 16.7. any concerns?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A high TSH suggests thyroid hypo-function. Tsh often changes before t3 (liothyronine) and t4. If would be prudent to consult your doctor for thyroid supplementation. Please note that all lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that.
