T4-dialyzed equilibrium 3.1(0.8-2.7);tsh 5.4(0.27-4.2);slight elevation but concerned about synthroid (thyroxine) with hyper sx; odds it's a tumor? igf-1 elevated

You're getting: overly concerned about lab that means nothing. Your Synthroid (thyroxine) dose needs to be increased slightly until your tsp is normalized. Forget the other stuff. You don't have a tumor, just common ordinary hypothyroidism that's partially treated. Check w/your doctor.
