A member asked:

Could an elevation in one's tsh level be indicative of hyper/hypo thyroidism?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypothyroidism: When the thyroid makes too little hormone (t4 and t3), the pituitary makes more TSH to try to compensate. So an elevated TSH is indicative of a thyroid that has failed or is failing, and you may need to take levothyroxine. See your doctor.
