The TSH normal values are 0.5 to 5.0 mIU/L
Most labs say that a normal serum TSH level is somewhere between 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L, and that a TSH level of 10 mIU/L or higher is indicative of hypothyroidism
A normal range for TSH in most laboratories is 0.4 milliunits per liter (mU/L) to 4.0 mU/L. If your TSH is higher than 4.0 mU/L on repeat tests, you probably have hypothyroidism. Your doctor may also order a T4 test
Too much cortisol can also interfere with the conversion from T4 to T3.
A TSH over 10 mIU/L has been linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease and heart failure, which is why you' will probably want to seek treatment if your TSH is close to (but still under) that upper limit
