Is 0.84 tsh level in normal range?

As far as the ranges are concerned a 0.8 TSH is considered normal, however, your Dr. is the best person to advise. If you are exhibiting thyroid malfunction symptoms, it is best to do an antibody test, those are the best indicators in cases where patients FT3, FT4 and TSH fall within the normal range, but nonetheless thyroid malfunction is suspected.

How bad is a TSH level of 15.19?

This is a moderately elevated TSH level. It is indicative of a hypothyroid state, warranting further investigation and treatment. (Remember, when TSH from the pituitary is elevated, it means that the thyroid stimulating hormone is attempting to have the thyroid gland produce more thyroxine {T4}. Therefore, this situation is representative of a hypothyroid state in most circumstances.)

How do you treat Diabetes Mellitus?

The treatment of diabetes is a vast field. This is just my own personal approach, which might possibly empower anyone reading it and relieve their tension and stress. In any case, this is not a prescription to treat diabetes.

When I was diagnosed of diabetes, the first feeling was that of despair, pity, disgust, helplessness and shame about self. I felt crippled. This was compounded by the mercy or sympathy that I got from others. The thought of diabetic complications, dependency on doctors, drugs and social support made me miserable. I decided to take my own responsibility and began to focus on: 1. practice of NAMASMARAN. 2. Drinking a glass of water every morning. 3. Stopping sugar in every form. 4. Eating fruits in moderation. 5. Doing pranayam on empty stomach. 6. Taking metformin and gliacazide only after food. 7. Not getting panicky if blood sugar shot up. 8. Eating sprouted beans and salads. 9. Eating Tulsi leaves and Neem leaves every day along with chyavanaprash and taking Ayurvedic antidiabetics alongside. 10. Taking bath every day twice. 11. Changing clothes every day twice. 12. Practicing all the varieties of exercise techniques which toned up all muscles and internal and external organs such as lungs and eyes. 13. Remembering that one can die or get disabled by hundreds of causes and not merely diabetes. Diabetes is not a curse. 14. Not expecting a support as I had no reason to feel miserable.15. The most important thing is: Getting involved in the work that I cherished maximally i.e. the activity of SUPERLIVING or TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT.

How does the endocrine system affect puberty?

The arrival of puberty is when the body starts changing and producing the secondary sexual characteristics. This in turn is kick-started by an increase in hormone production controlled by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. It is these androgen hormones that control the maturation of the body. Testosterone increases muscle growth, maturation of the sexual organs and production of sperm.

What disease occurs when adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol or aldosterone?

The disease is called as 'Addison's disease'. In developing countries, you get this disease very commonly, as a result of injudicious use of corticosteroids by quacks, leading to suppression of hypothalamo-pituitory-adrenal axis.

Which gland is both Endocrine and Exocrine?

The pituitary gland is two endocrine glands in one. The anterior and posterior pituitary gland each have different functions and endocrine products.

Can you get cancer in the thyroid?

T3 (Triiodothyronine) tests are useful in diagnosing hyperthyroidism and the severity of it. This is because patients who are hyperthyroid have an elevated T3 level. The American Thyroid Association says thyroglobulin (Tg) is a protein produced by normal thyroid cells and also thyroid cancer cells. This test is most often used for patients who have had surgery for thyroid cancer because it helps monitor them after treatment.

When would you use technetium in a nuclear medicine thyroid scan?

If I-123 was not available and that is the only reason ever. Some places use Tc99m because it is cheaper and faster than I-123. But i-123 was developed because it was and is better than straight Tc99m

What is excessive hunger associated with diabetes mellitus?

First of all he have diabetes because he is always hungry and it caused him to over-eat.

The way that the diabetes can cause him to be hungry (if we assume it is not the other way around - as above) is that if it is not well controlled the sugar is not being taken up from the blood and being used by the cells. You end up with a situation where the sugar is high in the blood and low in the cells and so they send out signals trying to tell the body that they need more food.

What happens if the Thyroid Gland is swollen?

There are different reasons for the pituitary gland to be "swollen". It could be something as simple as having depression, or if you have recently had a baby. Or it could be something more serious like lymphocytic hypophysitis or pituitary tumor or pituitary apoplexy. You would really need to see a pituitary specialist for it.

The thyroid gland secretes what?

Many hormones. Thyroxine (T4), Triiodothyronine (T3), and Calcitonin are the ones that are important! For more info, read my next paragraph. If that's all ya need, then hope that helped!

T4 is involved with cell metabolism; it increases the metabolic rate of cells. T4 speeds up cells and produces heat. T3 on the other hand is associated with body temperature, growth, and heart rate. Calcitonin reduces blood calcium levels, targeting the kidneys, small intestine, and the bones.

FSH has two functions?

One of the functions of FSH in the menstrual cycle is for development of the primary follicle during the first few days of the menstrual cycle, and there is a small peak of this hormone between approximately days 1-6.

As oestrogen levels increase (oestrogen is secreted by the theca interna of the secondary oocyte) this feeds back negatively, thus decreasing the level of FSH until approximately day 12. Oestrogen levels reach a peak between days 11 and 12, and then start to decline. As levels of oestrogen decline, FSH levels start to increase once more, and there is a small peak of FSH on day 14 when ovulation occurs.

FSH is responsible also for the choice of the dominant follicle; a woman has many follicles, but only one (or 2 if there are dizygotic twins) will mature. This appears to depend on the number of FSH recpetors on the surface of the follicle, i.e the follicle that has most receptors will be the one which matures.

To answer your question, then, I would say that the 2 main functions of FSH in the menstrual cycle are:

1) The initiation of follicular development, and general development of the primary follicle

2) Choice of the dominant follicle, i.e the follicle which will be ovulated.

I hope that helps: I am currently trying to answer the same question, and struggled to find a second function of FSH other than the initiation of follicular development!

What effect does TSH have on the thyroid?

It controls the body's metabolism namely regulating the rate at which the body consumes oxygen and produces ATP, which the cells use as energy.

Because of this it has diffuse effects on all systems in the body. Nervous, Cardiac, Integumentary, GI, just about everything in you body will be altered when T3, or T4 levels change either up or down.

How long should I fast for a tsh blood test?

No. Fasting is only required for lab tests which examine lipids, sugars (blood glucose, glycohemoglobin, etc.) and amino acids.

Primary purpose of the endocrine system?
