What Does This TSH Level Of 0.84 Indicate?

thyroid disorder can be excluded
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
with a TSH as low as 0.84 hypothyroidism can be excluded. Other potential causes may have to be investigated including the following:
- anemia: low hematocrit which is almost normal for a woman in reproductive age due to monthly blood loss (period).
- electrolyte imbalance: the causes are too many to mention. It usually affects patients who take diuretics or central nervous system drugs.
- drug side effect: some drugs may cause fatigue. If you're taking any, you can take a look at the drug's SPC or ask me!
- not enough rest: a good night sleep is invaluable.
- "chronic" infections: like tuberculosis, etc. Checking body temperature twice daily for 3 days should suffice to exclude fever.
- autoimmune disorders: various such disorders may present with fatigue and perhaps low grade fever, joint pain, etc.
- depression: if all relevant organic causes are excluded then depression can be suspected.
I hope it helps!
Kind Regards!
