Thyroid: 23 M from Egypt has TSH 5.6 and ft4 1.2. Asks Can I have hypothyroidism knowing that I am 23 M? What further test are needed. ANS: Need normal values for the lab that did you test and their values for Dx of hypoT. Yes you could have low thyroid as it occurs at all ages. Do you always eat iodized salt? In many countries it is illegal to sell salt without iodine as can cause hypothyroidism. Ask Dr
