Vanessa09,
A non-thyroidal illness can elevate TSH which is why the first abnormal TSH result may be ignored and the patient asked to retest in 2-3 months when the virus or illness would be expected to have resolved.
Thought so. Just wanted to double check. Munchkin is unwell and due bloods on Monday, hopefully she'll be over it by then, if not it'll be put back a couple of days!
Thankyou
