Suggest Treatment For Elevated TSH And T4 Levels

Allison, Age 32 DOB 9/5/85 Hypothyroid (Total Thyroidectomy in Feb 2006). My metabolic and blood counts bloodwork panels came back within normal ranges. However, my thyroid levels were off (high TSH and T4). Also, my A/G ratio was low (Score 1) and my Globulin level was high (Score 3.8). Could this be the result of my thyroid medication being off? My doctor, as a result, has increased my thyroid medication dosage. However, I was wondering if I should be concerned of these other two panels ranges.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Increasing TSH value is due to not taking the drug so it is most advisable to start taking the drug that is being prescribe after the thyroidectomy, and the dose of the drug needs to be increase according to the end result of TSH.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
