A patient is found to have the following blood
results:
TSH 14 mU/L (Normal range 0.35-5.0mU/L)
Free Thyroxine 57pmol/l (Normal range 9-22pmol/l)
Explain the relationship between TSH and free thyroxine
and state
why this is an unusual pattern of thyroid results.
State the possible causes of this pattern of results and
how they
may be differentiated .
The levels of thyroxine and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) was checked in patients at various levels of the free T4 levels and TSH ( thyroid stimulating hormone) with the graphical analysis of the levels without and with treatment of TSH hormone.
The pattern of the graph is depicted for the levels of the hormone TSH before and after treatment.
The thyroid neuronal cells secrete the levels of the hormone from these cells after activation in the neuro-hypophyseal axis of the regions of the brain.
The sigmoidal curves were obtained with the study of the different points on the curve of the graph. The numerical formula was used for calculating the results as follows:
The levels of the hormones are studies in various age groups to analyze the secretory levels of TSH and free thyroxine.
The age group graph of the levels of the hormone TSH and T4 was analyzed according to the graph shown below:
The free T4 levels and TSH levels were more in the group of male students as compared to the female groups which were studied and analyzed.
