Diagnosis:

Routine diagnosis is made by checking Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels and T3 and T4 levels.

Advanced blood tests include: free T3 and T4, Reverse T3, antibody tests and TRH stimulation test. These are recommended in people whose symptoms do not improve despite normal T3, T4 and TSH levels

Treatment:

The treatment involves hormone replacement with Levo-thyroxine pill (synthetic thyroid hormone).

Sub clinical Hypothyroidism: A hidden disease

It is a condition with no evident symptoms, normal T3, T4 levels and raised TSH levels. Sub clinical hypothyroidism needs close monitoring by periodic blood tests. . About 1 out of 10 people with sub clinical hypothyroidism develop clinical hypothyroidism within 3 years.
