About the Test
Purpose of the test
Your TSH level provides information about whether your thyroid gland is functioning normally. TSH is often tested as part of a thyroid panel, along with tests of hormones produced by the thyroid gland. If TSH alone is tested and the result is abnormal, additional thyroid tests may be ordered.
TSH testing may be used for the following reasons:
To diagnose an underactive or overactive thyroid gland
To screen for thyroid disease before it causes symptoms, especially in newborns
To evaluate a thyroid nodule, which is a lump on the thyroid gland
To evaluate a goiter, which is enlargement of the thyroid gland
To diagnose or rule out thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, and thyroid cancer
To monitor a patient’s response to treatment for hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or another thyroid condition
