I don't have a transplant, yet, but I do have Graves Disease which causes hyperthyroidism. With a high TSH you need to see an endocrinologist who can test you for hypothyroidism and if that's the cause there are meds to control it.

I had hypothyroidism befote transplant. I was never were aware of a relation between the 2. I was told though that my parathyroid issues contributed to my CKD. I would check with the transplant team if you are still in touch with them. I would consult an endocrinologist and my nephrologist. Your question needs to be addressed by specialists.
