Understanding TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive in Dombivli
What is TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive in Dombivli?
The TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive test assesses the functioning of the thyroid gland and detects its disorders, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. It is available at an affordable price in Dombivli with Tata 1mg labs. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), also known as thyrotropin, is produced by the pituitary gland present in the brain. TSH triggers the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). Together, TSH, T3, and T4 hormones play a vital role in controlling how the body uses and stores energy and in maintaining the body's weight and temperature.
No special preparations are needed for a TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive test. You may eat and drink as per your daily routine. Usually, you do not need to stop taking your thyroid medication before having your TSH levels checked. However, let your doctor know about all your medications, as some can affect thyroid function.
What does TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive measure?
The TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive test measures the levels of TSH hormone in the blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland located in the brain. Its function is to stimulate and regulate the functioning of the thyroid gland. It signals the thyroid gland to increase or decrease the production of thyroid hormones T3 and T4 when their levels are low or high, respectively. Therefore, when the levels of T3 & T4 decrease, the pituitary gland is stimulated to release TSH. This high TSH level, in turn, stimulates the thyroid gland to release more thyroid hormones (T3 & T4); vice versa happens when the levels of thyroid hormones increase.
