General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi & Welcome.
The result of thyroid function tests of your relative is suggestive of subclinical hypothyroidism.

It is defined biochemically as a normal serum free thyroxine (T4) concentration in the presence of an elevated serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration.

She needs to be further evaluated by a physician and certain lab tests such as thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO) and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies (TSHRAb) are to be measured before starting Levothyroxine in a dosage that maintains serum TSH levels within the normal range.

Hope this answers your query.
