Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hi,

1. You are having subclinical hypothyroidism (a mild decrease in thyroid gland function)- TSH borderline elevated with normal T3 and T4. With thyroxine your thyroid function is normal. You can continue with same dose medications

2. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is hypothyroidism with positive anti microsomal antibody. Most labs give values above 35 iu/ml as positive. So you might have Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. Please recheck the normal range of AMA in the lab you have checked.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

Regards
