TSH (THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE) Test in Bengaluru

TSH Test in Bangalore

This test measures your blood's concentration of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). The pituitary gland in your brain produces TSH, which aids in the thyroid gland's hormone production. Your thyroid is underactive and not producing enough hormones if your TSH level is high. Should it be low, a hyperactive thyroid produces an excessive amount of hormones. You will require this test on a regular basis if your thyroid is underactive so that your medication dosage can be adjusted.

What is Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test?

• This gland in the neck is responsible for producing the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

• The hormones T3 and T4 are involved in the regulation of mood, energy levels, metabolism, and other physiological processes.

• TSH, or thyroid-stimulating hormone, is produced by the brain's pituitary gland and regulates the levels of T3 and T4. It does this by bringing them down or raising them.

• The goal of the TSH test is to measure TSH levels in order to assess thyroid function.
