TSH - thyroid stimulating hormone is the most important markers of a healthy thyroid glad. It is used to confirm the symptoms of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, related to an underactive or overactive thyroid gland.
You can use our comprehensive thyroid test to check additional markers including T3, T4, TPO antibodies, and now a new reverse-T3 marker.
Problems with thyroid gland are very common, especially among women, for example:
An underactive thyroid gland: causes hypothyroidism with low T3, T4 and high TSH levels. Then the pituitary gland in brain increases TSH levels. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include unexpected gain in weight and higher sensitivity to cold.
An overactive thyroid gland: causes hyperthyroidism with high T3, T4 levels and low TSH levels. In rare cases, the thyroid hormone deficiency results in enlargement of the gland in throat (called goiter), often due to iodine deficiency. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include anxiety, difficulty in sleeping, and high sensitivity to heat.
Sometimes tumors in the pituitary gland can also cause unexpectedly high or low TSH levels.
A thyroid stimulating hormone test is a simple, easy first step to confirm the symptoms.
For our thyroid stimulating hormone blood test, there is no need to get an appointment or visit a lab or a doctor's office. A doctor's prescription is included with your order and no blood draw is needed. The test requires 4-5 drops of blood that you can collect at home with a finger prick lancet.
Once you receive a kit, follow step-by-step instructions to collect few drops on a dry blood spot card which is valid up to 30 days at room temperature. Your sample is tested at one of our CLIA-certified labs, which have been used by thousands of doctors across the country for several decades. These labs are monitored and regulated by federal and state health authorities to ensure they meet stringent quality requirements.
Once your sample is mailed to the lab, our team will send a confirmation and will start processing it. It takes a few days to complete testing and then you can download a PDF report from the web portal. The report will explain your results in simple language and will display your TSH levels against healthy ranges.
