Re: TK- TSH was urine testing olif

" TK--- she is correct on this when you just use TSH which is not the

way to test thyroid. "

TK, do you have a reference that says TSH of 0.6 might be hyper. Everything I am

finding uses 0.3 as the cutoff.

Thanks,

With mercury poisoning the pituitary is often damaged leading to

secondary hypothyroidism, and then TSH isn't useful, or low values

actually indicate hypothyroidism.

My TSH was always low and I am hypothyroid.

" # Serum TSH -- Results are generally low in secondary hypothyroidism

because the pituitary is damaged. However, normal or even high values

may be seen "
