A high TSH level—above 4.5 mU/L—indicates an underactive thyroid, also known as hypothyroidism. This means your body is not producing enough thyroid hormone. A high TSH means different things depending on whether a person has known thyroid disease. In People Without Known Thyroid Disease A hi...

Results The risk of atrial fibrillation was associated with the TSH level. The multivariate adjusted HR was 1.94 (95% CI, 1.13-3.34, lowest vs highest quartile; P for trend, .02). The multivariate adjusted level of free thyroxine showed a graded association with risk of atrial fibrillation (...
introduced the thyroid stimulating hormone index (TSHI) as a means to assess the responsiveness or sensitivity of the pituitary gland to TH. Specifically, higher TSHI values may indicate lower central thyroid hormone sensitivity, indicative of weakened TH-mediated negative feedback on the pituitary ...
However, increasing evidence has indicated that ART may predispose individuals to increased incidence of metabolic alterations, such as obesity and subclinical hypothyroidism as well as elevated blood pressure, fasting glucose and triglycerides22. However, to risks in IVF date no study has investigated ...
confirmed the previously reported link between obesity and thyroid autoimmunity, showing a significant association between obesity and autoimmune hypothyroidism and thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies (TPOAb) [59]. Moreover, it has also been reported that high normal serum TSH values are associated with ...
Although thyroid cancers are most common in euthyroid patients, in some cases, they could be associated with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism symptoms. It is known that a higher serum TSH level is associated with an increased risk of malignancy in a thyroid nodule, as well as more advanced-...
It is a disease in which the body explicate the thyroid glands and its hormone products T3, T4 and TSH as risk, therefore generating special antibodies that attack the thyroid’s cells thereby destructing it. It produces with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism and the presence and absence ofgo...
Several medications can increase the level of thyroid hormones in the blood. The most obvious example would be thyroid medications that are used to treat low thyroid levels (hypothyroidism). For example, desiccated thyroid (Armour Thyroid) is a drug that contains T3 and T4 extracted from animals...
Sub-clinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is common in heart failure (HF) and advanced renal failure (RF), but it is unclear whether there is a thyroid disease or a transient increase in TSH level. This is a retrospective study of hospitalized patients in medical departments. All patients with SCH ...
