The TSH Test is primarily used to diagnose and monitor thyroid disorders. It measures the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone in the blood, providing insight into the thyroid gland's function. This test can help detect whether the thyroid is working too much or too little, guiding the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
Depending on the results, further testing or follow-up appointments may be necessary. It is essential to discuss your test results with your healthcare provider, who can offer an interpretation and recommend any next steps or treatment.
