Treat hypothyroidism: A TSH result (more sensitive than T3 (liothyronine) or t4) of 46 suggests that you have significant hypothyroidism, or under active thyroid function. This may cause slower metabolism and weight gain in some people. The most common form of hypothyroidism is chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis or hashimoto's disease. Treatment with levothyroxine (t4) will replace thyroid levels and help to normalize metabolism.
