If hi or low TSH...: The doctor usually checks the TSH level in the blood, and tries to make it a normal level. The doctor will adjust the treatment, to get the TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and other hormones to go to normal levels, and to get the patient to feel well again. Be calm in the face of adversity. "High" level has no particular meaning without the whole story, which only one's personal doctor knows.

A member asked:
Good morning! I went to my PCP to have my blood work done for our HealthyReturns program. The blood work did not come back with all normal levels. My LDL was 121 and they called to tell me to return in 6 months to test again. However, the results show good for my total cholesterol on the HealthyReturns site. My Chloride levels and UR Spec Gravity is low. My Albumin, A/G Ratio, and Baso (Absolute) are high. Should I be concerned or get a 2nd test sooner? Questions Regarding Blood Work Results?
