TSH levels higher than 4.5 mU/L usually indicate an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), and low TSH levels—below 0.4 mU/L—indicate an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).1 However, there are exceptions to these interpretations and variations as to what a "normal" TSH level is. This is be...
(TSH: 2.5–5?mIU/L) compared to women with severe male factor infertility. Practice guidelines vary on whether treatment should be initiated for TSH levels >2.5?mIU/L in women attempting conception because the effects of treating a high‐normal TSH level with levothyroxine are not known. We ...
The daily dose of levothyroxine had been increased gradually at an interval of 3 months over a year because of persistent elevation of serum TSH level. Laboratory tests revealed markedly elevated Free T4, Free T3 and TSH levels, along with low concentrations of all lipid fractions, serum ...
TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone. The pituitary glandproduces TSH to stimulate the thyroid gland, which is located in the neck, to produce the hormones triiodothyronine (T3) or thyroxine (T4) that control how the body uses and stores energy. When the thyroid gland is not functioning ...

Levothyroxine suppression of thyrotropin (TSH) is broadly applied to patients with thyroid cancer despite lack of consensus on the optimal TSH conce...
idothyronine (T3). Normal levels of TSH range from 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L. TSH levels above 4.0 are considered high and result in a diagnosis of hypothyroidism.These high TSH levels occur when the pituitary produces more than normal amounts of TSH because the thyroid lags to produce T4 and T3...
It is also important to note that TSH levels cannot be completely corrected if the final maintenance dose given to a patient is below the optimal dose.Experience has shown that low doses are effective in patients with low body weight and large nodular goiter.Daily dose of...

Case Presentation: A 72-year-old man was referred for evaluation of a low TSH. He had a long history of hypothyroidism, euthyroid on levothyroxine, and was diagnosed with cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL). Due to disease progression on dapsone, PUVA and TAR baths, he was started on ...
