What is the TSH Test?
The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test measures the level of TSH in the blood, which is produced by the pituitary gland. TSH stimulates the thyroid to produce T3 and T4 hormones, playing a key role in regulating metabolism, energy, and overall thyroid function.
What is a TSH Report Format?
A TSH report presents the measured TSH level in the blood, typically in microunits per milliliter (µU/mL), compared to the reference range to assess thyroid health and diagnose thyroid-related disorders.
Tests Included in TSH Report
Test | Description |
TSH | Measures the concentration of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood, reflecting thyroid function. |
Key Parts of a TSH Report
Key Part | Description |
TSH Level | The amount of TSH in the blood, typically measured in µU/mL. |
Normal Range | The reference range for TSH to assess thyroid activity and overall health. |
Normal Range for TSH Report
Test | Normal Range |
TSH | 0.4 – 4.0 µU/mL (varies slightly with age and laboratory methods) |
Parameters to Consider in TSH Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
TSH Level | High levels of TSH suggest hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), while low levels indicate hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). |
Guidelines for TSH Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Test Results | Present the TSH level in µU/mL to compare with the reference range for thyroid function assessment. |
Interpretation | Offer context on whether the result is within normal limits or suggests thyroid dysfunction. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
High TSH Levels | Elevated TSH levels suggest hypothyroidism, a condition where the thyroid is underactive. |
Low TSH Levels | Low TSH levels indicate hyperthyroidism, a condition where the thyroid is overactive. |
TSH Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
TSH | High TSH levels indicate hypothyroidism, while low TSH levels suggest hyperthyroidism. |
