Test Results
I have be Hypo for about 5-6 years
My TSH has gone from 7 in January to 24 in August so I had an ultrasound done and this was the lab report from it. My PC is refering me to an Endo.
I got my test results back from my ultrasound yesterday they are as follows:
Hypothyroidism, 244.9 (whatever this means)
Right lobe is diffusely inhomogeneous.
Left lobe calcifications. there is a irregular thyroid contour
A discrete nodule is not identified within the thyroid gland. there is a question of a prominent right parathyroid gland.
Possible enlargement of the right parathyroid gland.

You have hashimoto's thyroiditis -- an autoimmune attack on the thyroid which is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. With the elevated TSH you need to start thyroid hormone treatment.
Your right lobe is a little enlarged, the endocrinologist may repeat the ultrasound 4-6 months after starting treatment, usually the thyroid reduces in size with treatment.
244.9 is the diagnosis code for hypothyroidism.
