Is It Necessary To Test T3 And T4 If The TSH Value Is 12.6?
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Her TSH level is high. So it is commonly seen in hypothyroidism. For starting treatment of hypothyroidism you should check T3, T4 and TSH all three. Your TSH is high but check your T3, T4 also. Then start treatment accordingly. Only treatment is thyroid supplement. You can take drugs like synthroid or eltroxin according to advice. Hope I have answered your question. if you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
