Big inaccuracy in Graves' disease article
Post: 1
Posted Jun 10, 2009 by conjoyow
While it's generaly quite agood article, it's also old:

new developments in Graves' disease medicine:
border limits of TSH indicating hypothyroidism have changed:

the article sais the upperlimit is 6.0
while now it's generally 3.0

big difference!

"And as of March 2003, it is the official recommendation of the america Association of Endocrinologists that the normal range for TSH levels is .3 to 3.0"
