Basic Video On How The Thyroid Works

Until 2002, doctors had relied on a normal TSH level ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 to diagnose and treat patients with a thyroid disorder who tested outside the boundaries of that range. Now the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) encourages doctors to consider treatments for patients who test outside the boundaries of a narrower margin based on target TSH level of 0.3 to 3.0. AACE believes the new range will result in proper diagnosis for millions of Americans who suffer from a mild thyroid disorder, but have gone untreated until now.
