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.
What else can I help you with?
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 hormone regulates thyroid function?
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) regulates thyroid function by stimulating the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). High levels of TSH can indicate an underactive thyroid, while low levels can indicate an overactive thyroid.
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 will happen when Thyroid Stimulating Hormone value is greater than the reference level?
When TSH is high, it stimulates the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormones. An elevated TSH usually means a hypOthyroid patient. Rarely, an elevated TSH may result in hypERthyroid symptoms when the feedback system that controls TSH production is not working properly.
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
