A member asked:
Would tsh 5.4 and t4 7.6 be considered mild or severe? what test would my doctor have to do to know what caused my thyroid to be low?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mild; repeat test: In most assays, the T4 is normal, and TSH slightly elevated. This could be nothing; sometimes a repeat test will come back normal. The question to ask: is your thyroid gland starting to fail? If so, it is early. Family history? Do you have symptoms? Positive anti-TPO antibodies? If you have symptoms and if there is evidence that your thyroid is failing, you should start on levothyroxine.
