A member asked:
My brother has hypothyroidism.his tsh is 4.500 h. does he need a specific medicine or complements?.will his tsh increase in the future? or stabilize?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to tell: your brother needs to see an endrocrinologist, or a pediatric endocrinologist if still under age, TSH isn't the only parameter, history, physical exam and other tests would tell, doctors treat patients not lab results, wish you both wellness
