A member asked:
8days ago when tested tsh was 21, now 18 in different lab, without taking medicine has my tsh reduced? or is it a lab mistake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Tsh does not change significantly in a week. Both numbers are high and indicate hypothyroidism and difference in the numbers is just likely difference in the labs and how the test was performed.
