TSH indirectly controls the use of energy in the body and regulates weight, body temperature, muscle strength, etc. Even our mental memory and control. Why do I need a TSH Test?

Hyperthyroidism: Symptoms of increased THS include anxiety, weight loss, trembling hands and feet, chest tightness, swelling of the body, swelling of the eyes, and trouble sleeping. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include: weight gain, fatigue, hair loss, chills, leprosy, etc. Collection Of blood for TSH Test: To collect TSH test, blood is collected from the veins of the hand through a series.

There is a hereditary disease in which TSH is increased in cases where the body is not functioning adequately due to thyroid gland hormones. The reason TSH is too much is: If the thyroid gland is overactive, it may be due to taking extra thyroid medicine. Taking low doses of entry thyroid medication can reduce the amount of TSH. This is only in the case of those who have undergone thyroid treatment. Even if the amount of TSH is more or less, it cannot be said that there is any specific disease.

Thyroid hormones measured in lab tests are usually FreeT4 and FreeT3.
What will happen when Thyroid Stimulating Hormone value is greater than the reference level?
When TSH is high, it stimulates the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormones. An elevated TSH usually means a hypOthyroid patient. Rarely, an elevated TSH may result in hypERthyroid symptoms when the feedback system that controls TSH production is not working properly.
