A member asked:
Does a tsh of 5.2 warrant further testing for someone that has not been diagnosed with a thyroid disorder?

It warrants tx: If a repeat TSH in the same range, you should be begun on therapy with brand name replacement.

Mild hypothyroid.: Tsh is mildly elevated. This may represent many things. Would not expect this degree of abnormality to produce any symptoms. Should probably be repeated to make sure it is not an erroneous value. Would add free T4 to the lab test to help make the decision about whether to treat.
