A member asked:
What will happen to tsh when thyroid gland is removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It goes up: If you remove your entire thyroid, there will be no thyroid hormone being produced, thus your TSH will go up. If your doctor put you on thyroid hormone replacement and the dose he/she chose is the correct dose, then TSH should stay the same/normal.
