Hey Everyone,
If someone's TSH come back high, yet the Free T4 is normal, it is call subclinical hypothyroidism. You might get an antibody test then, and if positive, you know the T4 will eventually sink below normal over the next few years. Otherwise, I am not sure how it changes the management of the disease. Either way, you are going to treat with thyroid hormones and follow the TSH.
