Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

What will the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Test identify?

TSH, or thyroid stimulating hormone, is a vital hormone produced by the pituitary gland. Its function is to inform the thyroid whether to produce more or less of its hormones.

Elevated levels of TSH in the blood prompt the thyroid to generate more T3 and T4, whereas reduced levels lead to lower production of these hormones.

Both T3 and T4 provide feedback to the pituitary, allowing it to gauge the necessary amount of TSH to release into the bloodstream.

The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Test will detect levels of the following hormones in your blood:

• T3
• T4
• TSH

This test is ideal for people who want to know if their thyroid gland is functioning properly. It can be used to diagnose hyperthyroidism (too much thyroid hormone), hypothyroidism (too little thyroid hormone), or to monitor your response to treatment.
