Mr. Lybrate-user kumar, at tsh level 5.3 mu/l, it is in the sub - clinical state. Treatment is usually advised when tsh crosses 10 mu/l. However, occasionally, even in sub-clinical hypothyroidism treatment is initiated if t4 level is low and there are severe sympts attributable o hypothyroidism. Presently you do not need any treatment. Thanks.
