You can experience symptoms of hypothyroidism with normal TSH levels. Learn more about when and how this can occur.
T4 (thyroxine) Lower-than-normal T4 levels usually mean you have hypothyroidism. However, some people may have increased TSH levels while having normal T4 levels. This is called subclinical (mild) hypothyroidism. It is believed to be an early stage of hypothyroidism. ...

in the intestine may be reabsorbed. If the hypothalamus senses low FT3 and FT4, there will be an increase in TRH and subsequently, TSH; conversely, in this negative feedback loop, T3 and T4 inhibit the release of TSH from the hypothalamus and the pituitary once normal levels are achieved....

CeH diagnosis should be confirmed by the combined findings of serum free T4 concentrations below the lower limit of the normal range and inappropriately low/normal TSH concentrations on at least two separate determinations, as well as after exclusion of the following: nonthyroidal illness, isolated ...
Subclinical hypothyroidism is defined as having normal serum levels of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), in conjunction with an elevated serum TSH level.6 Few if any symptoms of hypothyroidism are present. Overt hypothyroidism is defined as having low thyroid hormone ...
The clinical manifestations are usually milder than those observed in primary hypothyroidism, and the CH diagnosis is based on low circulating levels of free thyroid hormone and low/normal TSH. CH treatment is based on L-thyroxine (L-T4) supplementation, the adequacy of which is evaluated by ...
After changing the brand or dosage of L-thyroxine, TSH and free T4 levels should be measured within six to eight weeks. Someone who is taking a stable dose of l-thyroxine with previously normal TSH levels should have the TSH checked every 6-12 months. ...
