High TSH level after thyroid ectomy and RAI therapy

by naiyara, Jul 22, 2008 10:52PM

Tags: tsh level, High TSH

My mother had total thyroid ectomy 2 months ago and she received RAI therapy 3 weeks ago. Despite that her TSH level is still high(80). What might be the cause of this? She is currently taking 150mcg Synthyroid, but its not effectively decreasing her TSH level.
