Serum TSH Test
TSH test is also known as thyroid stimulating test.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Test (TSH Test)
TSH test is used to measure the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood. The thyroid-stimulating hormone is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) hormones. These hormones help to control the rate at which energy is used in almost every tissue in the body.
Why this TSH test is performed?
This test is one amongst many tests that may be helpful to determine if the thyroid gland is functioning normally. The thyroid gland is a part of the endocrine system. It produces and releases the thyroid hormones into the bloodstream.
The hormones produced by the thyroid gland regulate various functions in the body, including heart function, digestive function, bone maintenance, brain development, muscle control, metabolism (the rate at which the body uses energy), etc.
This test is used to identify if the thyroid gland is hyperactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces too many hormones. This condition may cause signs and symptoms such as a sudden weight loss, irritability, sweating, irregular heartbeats, etc. Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough amount of hormones.
This condition may cause signs and symptoms such as sudden weight gain, dry skin, constipation, feeling cold, slow heart rate, etc. Your doctor may ask you to undergo this test if you are suffering from any such symptoms.
If you are suffering from a thyroid disorder and receiving treatment for the same, your doctor may advise you to undergo this test as part of routine monitoring as well as to determine the effectiveness of the treatment.
How frequent to do TSH test?
If you are a healthy individual above the age of 30, your doctor may advise you to undergo this test either yearly or twice every year. If you have been diagnosed with a thyroid disorder, your doctor may advise you to undergo this test once every 3 months to once a year based on your clinical condition.
