my tsh reflex result is .90 range is to be 040-4.0 should this be of concern?
A TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) reflex to free T4 (thyroxine) at a value of 1.1 typically indicates that the TSH level is elevated, suggesting hypothyroidism. In this context, a free T4 value of 1.1 (assuming it is within the normal range) would suggest that the thyroid is not producing enough hormones, leading to the pituitary gland increasing TSH production in an attempt to stimulate the thyroid. It’s important to interpret these results alongside clinical symptoms and other thyroid function tests for a comprehensive assessment.
This is ordered by your health care provider to rule in or out any type of thyroid disorder.
A TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) level of 0.30 mIU/L is generally considered low, as the typical reference range for TSH is approximately 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L, though this can vary slightly between laboratories. Low TSH levels may indicate hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. However, it's important to interpret TSH levels in conjunction with other thyroid function tests, such as free T4 and free T3, and to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
is a 3.89 tsh level high?
Yes, a TSH of 1.08 is within the normal range.
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.
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.
tsh goes down as thyroxine goes up.
No. An overproduction of TSH would cause hyperthyroidism.
is a tsh level of 0.61 overactive or underactive
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
