TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
is a 3.89 tsh level high?
.88tsh is that noraml ref. range of tsh is 0.35-5.5 uIU/ml. if result is 0.88 uIU/ml then it is normal. If result is 88.0 uIU/ml then it is very high.
Yes, a TSH of 1.08 is within the normal range.
It may indicate hypothiroidism because the normal levels go from 0.4 to 4.0 approx.
As thyroxine levels increase the amount of TSH produced will decrease. On the other hand, when TSH levels increase the thyroxine levels will decrease. This is what causes the TSH/thyroxine levels to fluctuate.
With TSH the results are opposite of what you'd normally think they mean. High TSH means your thyroid is functioning very slowly. Low TSH means your thyroid is overactive.A lab result with TSH of zero could mean a couple of things. If you're on thyroid hormone it likely means one of two things:You took your thyroid medication before the blood test and the medication is affecting your results. If this is the case your results are meaningless and the test needs to be repeated.If you didn't take thyroid medication before the test then you're over-medicated in general and your doctor should adjust your medication levels.If you have Hashimoto's Disease it means that you're currently in the hyperthyroid stage of the disease.For a more complete understanding of your thyroid function you should have the following tests done:TSHFree T3Free T4TPO Antibodies (if you suspect autoimmune disease)
Because TSH is a part of the body's negative feedback system which controls the thyroid's output of thyroid hormones, a DECREASE of TSH would indicate hypERthyroidism. An INCREASE of TSH indicates hypOthyroidism.
No. An overproduction of TSH would cause hyperthyroidism.
tsh goes down as thyroxine goes up.
is a tsh level of 0.61 overactive or underactive
my tsh reflex result is .90 range is to be 040-4.0 should this be of concern?
TSH levels show ranges. For newborns TSH normal levels should be: 3.0-20 mIU/L. For adults up to age 60 TSH normal levels should be: <10 mIU/L For adults older than 60 TSH normal levels should be: Males: 2.0-7.3 mIU/L Females: 2.0-16.8 mIU/L
