Suggest Treatment For Elevated Liver Levels
New blood work tsh is 127. Yes 127. Dec 2014 it was 5.25. I just started 50mcg Syntroid yesterday. Have googled a lot. But not finding why such a huge change after no problems before. 69 yr old white female in relatively good health otherwise. Yes a lot of ortho problems and gastro and some elevated liver panel again which will be rechecked in two months also.. Mothers was awful her whole life. So.. Just how high in comparison is this number.

Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what your mother had been going through lately.
Based on the history you have shared, she needs to uptitrate the thyroid replacement as it's functioning too low and may lead to many complications with pre-existing Premorbids.
Complete thyroid profile is suggested followed by an endocrinologist review.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
