TSH Test Report and Interpretation

The test report for Mrs. Srilatha indicates a Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level of 4.59 µIU/mL, which is above the normal biological reference range of 0.27-4.20 µIU/mL. The report emphasizes the significance of TSH levels in diagnosing thyroid dysfunction and notes variations in TSH due to factors such as age and pregnancy. It concludes with a recommendation to correlate the results with clinical findings.

Method:ECLIA

Primary malfunction of the thyroid gland may result in excessive (Hyper) or below normal (Hypo) release of T3 or T4. In Addition, as thyroid
function is directly affected by TSH. Diagnostically, T3 concentration in serum changes faster and more markedly than T4, the T3 level is also
an excellent indicator of the ability of the thyroid to respond to both stimulatory and suppressive tests under conditions of strong thyroid
stimulation, the T3 level offers a good. It is especially useful in the differential diagnosis of primary (Thyroid) from secondary (Pituitary) and
tertiary (Hypothalamus) hypothyroidism. In primary hypothyroidism, TSH levels are significantly elevated, While in secondary and tertiary
hypothyroidism, TSH levels are low. A TSH level between 6-12 miu/L with normal T4 may represent subclinical or compensated
Hypothyroiditis. Suppressed TSH may be seen in elderly patients who do not have thyrotoxicosis (Since the T3 is low or normal). TSH may
also be suppressed in depression.

* Asynchronous diurnal rhythm is found in serum TSH with low levels in the daytime and higher
levels at night. The variation is of the order of 50%, hence the time of the day has an influence on the
measured serum TSH Concentrations. Pregnancy has a profound impact on the thyroid gland and its function.

During pregnancy, the thyroid gland increases in size by 10% in iodine replete countries but by 20% to 40% in areas of iodine deficiency.
Production of the thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3), increases by nearly 50%, in conjunction with a separate 50%
increase in the daily iodine requirement.
1st Trimester : 0.10 - 2.50
2nd Trimester : 0.20 - 3.0
3rd Trimester : 0.30 - 3.0

(Ref: Guidelines of American Association for the diagnosis and management of Thyroid Disease
during Pregnancy and Postpartum, Thyroid, 2011,21:1-46).
Normal serum TSH ranges are higher in the elderly patient; thus, higher serum TSH goals may be needed as patient ages. The American
Thyroid Association (ATA) suggests raising the target serum TSH to 4-6 mIU/L in people age 70 to 80 years.
Note: All reference ranges are instrument and method-specific.
