I had recently got my thyroid function test done. It shows fT3 and fT4 are normal but ultrasensitive TSH is high i.e. 5.23 uIU/ml. What does it mean?

It means that you have subclinical hypothyroidism. It means you have hypothyroidism but you have no symptoms. Do not worry, you will be alright. Thankyou.
