Hi
High TSH
It means to keep the body stores of thyroid hormone to normal brain is working hard and TSH increases
But your TSH is borderline (0.4 to 5 normal range)
Also it depends on the lab so range may differ
So need to see the report
TSH can also be increased in some physiological conditions..
So it’s important to clinically correlate your report
Do you have any symptoms?
Even if you have symptoms, this condition can be treated easily
Need complete details for further management
