Can hypothyroidism cause other abnormal lab values?

Yes, hypothyroidism can lead to other abnormal lab values. It can cause elevated cholesterol levels, particularly low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, due to its effects on metabolism. Additionally, it may result in elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and decreased levels of free thyroxine (T4). Other abnormalities might include changes in liver enzymes and anemia in some cases.
