I had a 110 TSH and my doctor told me that my thyroid gland wasn't working at all. I was diagnosed that day with hypothyroidism and prescribed synthroid. I hope this helps and that you are under the care of a good doctor. HYpothyroidism is very treatable but can be dangerous if left untreated.

Is a TSH value of 5.35 considered hyperthyroidism?
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.
What does TSH mean?
It may indicate hypothiroidism because the normal levels go from 0.4 to 4.0 approx.
Tsh 9.7 what does that mean?
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
What does a tsh test of 2.8 mean?
It means that the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood stream is lower than it should be. Ideally it should be between 0.35 and 5 U/L. A TSH of this level can be caused by a number of different things. 1. Taking too much thyroxine or triiodothyronine to treat hypothyroidism 2. Hyperthyroidism 3. Secondary Hypothyroidism: this is where both the levels of TSH and free T4 are low
What does TSH level 3.89 mean?
is a 3.89 tsh level high?
Is a TSH of 1.08 good?
Yes, a TSH of 1.08 is within the normal range.
As thyroxine levels increase in the blood they exert negative feedback on the release of TSH by the pituitary gland. What effect will this have on the release of TSH?
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.
Does the over production of tsh cause hypothyroidism?
No. An overproduction of TSH would cause hyperthyroidism.
What happens to TSH as thyroxine increase?
tsh goes down as thyroxine goes up.
Is a tsh level of 0.61 overactive or underactive?
is a tsh level of 0.61 overactive or underactive
What to do when TSH is high and T3 and T4 are normal?
Endocrinologists who specialize in thryoid patients know not to treat patients based only on lab values. A high TSH and normal TT3 and TT4 may indicate that there are not enough free hormones available. A FreeT3 and FreeT4 will better tell the story because inactive hormone will not be included in the results. High TSH and normal FT3 and FT4 may indicate either that your 'normal' falls outside the normal range, or that your pituitary is trying to turn your thyroid on and it is not consistently or reliably responding. It may be rollercoastering. TSH is a test that gives the average of thyroid production over several weeks. FT3 and FT4 or TT3 and TT4 tells you how much hormone is there today. If FT3 and FT4 are low one week, and high the next, the TSH results will reflect the middle/average of the two. These patients usually (tho not always) have autoimmune Hashimoto's Thyroiditis or are not eating properly. Treatment: Some doctors choose Block and Replace therapy for these conditions. Others try to raise FT3 and FT4 levels until the patient is comfortable and TSH values seem more normal.
What is TSH with reflex?
my tsh reflex result is .90 range is to be 040-4.0 should this be of concern?
