A member asked:
Does a tsh value of 9.7 considered high? does it indicate over or under active thyroid issue? i will probably have to go back to doc. i was just tested and was sick at time of the labs. im not sure if that has any relation.

Numbers are numbers: Numbers are just numbers, so one's doctor needs the whole clinical picture to see what is actually happening. A TSH of 9.7 is high above the reference range. Usually, this means a person's body is lacking thyroid hormone and needs more thyroid supplement pills. Such a patient should keep working with her doctor to balance the body's thyroid hormone status.

Son,35,had CBC, & Thyroid was off -TSH was 4.76 (high) & T4 was 1.2 (normal range)-does he need treatment for this? My doc did not give him anything, could this happen from stress? Could it go back on its own? All other results were normal/in range?
Thyroid meds needed or re test? exhausted. Free T4 always normal. TPO AB OK but high in past. TSH usually 2.5-4.3. first time over lab range at 5.5.
