A member asked:

What causes high tsh 7.0 (although normal t3, (liothyronine)t4,pth) and low cortisol (1.0)? im being referred to an endo. im worried.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worry: In early stages of hypothyroidism TSH is high when T3 (liothyronine) T4 may still be normal. Hypothyroidism is quite common and is easily treatable with an oral medication. However, you must follow your doctor's advice for additional tests and treatments.
