A member asked:

Tests for free t3 (liothyronine) and free t4 are normal, but antibodies more than 600, tsh 18, i have been given thyronorm 75mcg, will it make tsh normal in 1 month?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very likely: The high TSH with normal free T3 (liothyronine) and T4 means you have subclinical hypothyroidism. A dose of 75 mcg of levothyroxine will likely work to correct the level.
