A TSH of 5.3 µIU/mL suggests mild / subclinical Hypothyroidism.
Next Steps
• Check (if not already done):
– Free T3, Free T4
– Anti-TPO antibodies
• When to start medicine (Levothyroxine):
– TSH persistently >5 with symptoms
– Planning pregnancy / infertility
– Anti-TPO positive
• Typical starting dose (if needed):
– Low dose (25–50 mcg daily), then adjust based on repeat TSH after 6–8 weeks
Health Tips
• Take thyroid medication (if started) on empty stomach, morning
• Maintain healthy weight and diet
• Avoid self-starting medication without follow-up
• Repeat TSH after 6–8 weeks if borderline
