A member asked:
What do you suggest if my thyroid tested. the results were high tsh but normal t3 (liothyronine) and t4. i also didn't test for antibodies. what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High TSH: This suggests the thyroid is in the early stages of "failing". T4/T3 has not fallen, yet, but the pituitary TSH is working harder to stimulate the thyroid. First, repeat the TSH to make sure not lab error. Do you have hypothyroid symptoms? The cause is probably Hashimotos, even if abs negative. Talk to your doc about whether or not you need to start levothyroxine.
