SUMMARYIn an elderly patient with clinical primary hypothyroidism and a raised basal TSH, the serum free thyroxine (fT4), total thyroxine (TT4) and triiodothyronine (TT3) were consistently and paradoxically grossly elevated when measured by radioimmunoassay. In part these hormone levels were due to ...
TSHPurpose: It has been suggested that increasing levothyroxine dose to lower TSH levels within the normal laboratory range might be a therapeutic option for patients with apparently well-controlled primary hypothyroidism who are dissatisfied with their treatment and complain of physical or psychological ...

---Deficiency of thyroid hormone leads to hypothyroidism and low free thyroxine and tri-iodothyronine (Free T4, T3) levels and increased thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are seen in primary hypothyroidism. Clinical features characterised by generalized weakness, lethargy, sleepiness and fatigue, slow ...

摘要原文 Primary hypothyroidism is defined as a deficiency of thyroid hormone as a result of intrinsic failure of the thyroid gland. This leads to low levels of circulating thyroxine, insufficient levels of thyroid hormone in target tissues, and typical symptoms, signs, and laboratory abnormalities....
With the exception of one short period, her TSH levels have remained elevated over eight years of observation without change in the size of the pituitary mass. In our review of the literature, primary uncontrolled hypothyroidism has been described as a precursor to pituitary hyperplasia. In these...
Laboratory findings revealed an elevation of plasma TSH (8,8 mu U/mL) with normal thyroid hormone levels. The investigations ruled out common causes of compensated hypothyroidism. Despite normal blood calcium and phosphate levels, parathyroid hormone was elevated to 358 pg/mL (normal values: 10-...
