      Likewise, paradoxically normal serum TSH levels may be seen in patients with hyperthyroidism due to a TSH-secreting pituitary tumor, that appears to secrete TSH isoforms with enhanced biologic activity (196,200,201). (b) Technical Problems . Technical problems, especially with the washing step, may result in falsely high TSH values (202).

      A high TSH level means that your thyroid gland is underactive. When your thyroid gland is underactive and not producing enough thyroid hormone, your body produces more TSH to stimulate the gland and increase its activity. A low TSH level means that your thyroid gland is overactive.

      If circulating blood levels of T3 and T4 are low, there is not as much negative feedback, and the anterior pituitary keeps on releasing TSH. The constant stimulation of the thyroid by the TSH can cause it to enlarge. This is called endemic goiter. TSH acts on a 7 transmembrane G protein coupled receptor on the plasma membrane of a thyroid cell.

      High bulk diet to avoid constipation. Low fat diet if overweight. Medications: Levothyroxine (Synthroid, levothroid) – to stimulate production/release of TSH. Nutrition If weight is a problem, avoid weight-loss diets. The body needs the daily dose of nutrients. Instead work in developing a healthy diet that allows losing weight.

      Serum TSH levels also display high variability, both within and between individuals (22). This primarily reflects the short half-life of TSH (~60 minutes) together with its circadian and diurnal variations, the levels peak during the night and reach a nadir sometime between 1000 to 1600 hrs (123,124).

      Diagnosis is primarily based on results of total T4, free T4, T3, and TSH levels. An elevation in TSH with normal T4 level is considered subclinical Range of normal is 0.35-5.50uIU/ml, which is quite broad, treatment is not recommended unless greater than 10uIU/ml.

If alpha-globulin band low on SPEP, check alpha1-antitrypsin level. If Fe/TIBC > 45%, high suspicion of hemochromatosis, send for ferritin.

      TSH is released from this gland in response to TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone) from the hypothalamus. It is likely, in this case, that there is an abnormal amount of secretion of T3 hormone because of hypersecretion of TSH and/or TRH. Normally, TRH causes release of TSH and TSH levels can cause negative feedback to inhibit release of TRH.

      Fetal and neonatal hyperthyroidism can be caused by transplacental passage of TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb), whereas hypothyroidism can be due to transpancental passage of blocking TSH receptor antibodies, from mothers with severe Graves’ disease or severe hypothyroidism due to chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.(

      This is characterized by an impairment of TSH production, with low circulating thyroid hormones and low, improperly normal, or slightly high TSH levels [28]. Recently, some countries have developed screening methods measuring both T4 and TSH on the same blood spot simultaneously or stepwise (“T4+TSH-method”).
