65+ booked in last 3 daysTSH Test Overview
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) or Thyrotropin is produced by the pituitary gland. It acts on the thyroid gland to promote the production of thyroid hormones - thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid hormones are essential for growth and metabolism.
One of the most important and reliable tests to evaluate a person's thyroid function is the TSH Ultrasensitive test. Ultrasensitive Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (U-TSH) as the name suggests is a more refined, sensitive and rapid test with a sensitivity of 0.05 µIU/mL. It is used to detect primary hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism and to calculate TRH or track individuals on thyroid replacement treatment. Following are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism: weight loss, rapid heartbeat, tremors, sweating, anxiety, increased sensitivity to heat, etc. Whereas patients with hypothyroidism suffer from weight gain, fatigue, slow heart rate, increased sensitivity to cold, depression, dry and thin hair etc.
