About the TSH Blood Test - Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Test

This blood test measures thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), a hormone made by the pituitary gland that tells the thyroid how much hormone to produce. Because TSH rises when thyroid hormone is low and falls when it is high, it is a sensitive first indicator of thyroid function. The test is ordered to screen for an underactive or overactive thyroid, to investigate symptoms such as fatigue, weight change, palpitations, or temperature intolerance, and to monitor thyroid treatment. TSH is usually interpreted alongside Free T4 and, at times, Free T3, since the relationship between them clarifies the underlying pattern.

What this test measures

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) The pituitary hormone that regulates thyroid hormone production.

Who this test may be right for

Adults with fatigue, weight change, or temperature intolerance
People with palpitations, tremor, or unexplained anxiety
Individuals with a family history of thyroid disease
Those being monitored during thyroid treatment

Before your visit

Report thyroid medications and biotin-containing supplements to the laboratory
Collection timing can matter if you take thyroid medication; follow your provider's instructions
Tell your provider if you are pregnant, as reference ranges differ

Understanding your results

TSH is compared against a reference range that may vary with age and pregnancy. A high TSH usually suggests an underactive thyroid, while a low TSH suggests an overactive thyroid or, in some cases, pituitary issues. Occasionally the pattern is more complex, so TSH is interpreted with Free T4 and Free T3. A healthcare provider should assess the result with your symptoms and any further testing.
