A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thyroid function: An elevated and rising TSHlevel means that the body is not getting the amount of thyroid hormonal kick that it needs, confirmed by the low free T4 level earlier. The most common cause of this in a woman is a condition known as Hashimotos thyroiditis, associated with various autoimmune features, and inflammatory cells in the thyroid. It can go through various phases of hyper- eu-- and hypo-thyroid function.
