So when TSH is high, thyroid function is low, i.e. hypothyroidism. Alternatively, when TSH is low, the thyroid is likely to be overactive, hyperthyroidism. Discuss a dose change with Doc.

Serum testing is recommended when the TSH is very elevated on the screen or

if both T4 and TSH are abnormal. For non-urgent cases, 1cc of serum may be sent to one of the Texas Department of State Health Services laboratories for T4, free T4, and TSH testing. There are postal regulations pertaining to mailing liquid biological specimens, call ...

Secondary (central) hypothyroidism is characterized by a low serum T4 concen

Occasionally, when screening a person who does not appear to have obvious th

yroid disease, a TSH will be found to be very low or not detectable. In those cases, if the free T 4 is low, one might consider the diagnosis of central hypothyroidism (a problem with the pituitary gland) or the effect of another illness on TSH levels.

BACKGROUND: Screening in pregnancy for subclinical hypothyroidism, often def

ined as thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) greater than 2.5 mIU/L or greater than 4.0 mIU/L, is controversial. We determined the frequency and distribution of TSH testing by gestational age, as well as TSH values associated with treatment during pregnancy and the frequency of postpartum continuation of thyroid hormone ...
