What causes high TSH 3 and low MCHC?

High TSH 3 and low MCHC can be caused by many reasons.

If your TSH 3 is in between 0.55 uIU/mL and 4.78 uIU/mL and your MCHC is in between 31.5 g/dL and 34.5 g/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for TSH 3 and MCHC respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease TSH 3 levels include:

• Liver disease
• Autoimmune disease
• A non-functioning thyroid gland
• Thyroiditis
• Diabetes
