TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

What is a Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test?

A TSH test, also known as the thyrotropin test or TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test, is a test that is used to evaluate the presence of the thyroid-stimulating hormone in the body. The thyroid is a small gland that is located near the throat and has the shape of a butterfly. The thyroid hormone also plays a pivotal role in the regulation of weight, body temperature, and muscle strength and even has an effect on your mood. 

The doctors at Evercare Hospital, which is known for its professional staff and highly qualified doctors recommend the TSH test if the person is either showing symptoms of too much thyroid in the body (hyperthyroidism) or too little thyroid in the body (hypothyroidism).

Some common signs of hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid are as follows:

  • Anxiety 
  • Sudden weight loss
  • Tremors in hand 
  • Heart palpitations
  • Puffiness 
  • Bulging of the eyes
  • Sleep apnea 

Some common signs of hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid are given below:

How to Read TSH Test Results?

High levels of TSH in the blood mean that the person is suffering from a condition known as hypothyroidism. On the other hand, low levels of TSH in the blood mean that the person has hyperthyroidism. A TSH test does not give a reason why the levels of this hormone are low or high. That is why the doctor might prescribe some additional tests as well. 

They might include:

  • T4 thyroid hormone tests
  • T3 thyroid hormone tests
  • Tests for Grave’s disease
  • Tests for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis
