TSH-Ultrasensitive (TSH-us) is a blood test that measures the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) with enhanced sensitivity. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a crucial role in regulating the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. The TSH-us test is used to evaluate thyroid function and diagnose certain thyroid disorders.
The TSH-Ultrasensitive (TSH-us) test is commonly used in various clinical situations to evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid disorders. TSH-us testing is typically performed in individuals suspected of having an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) or overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).
The TSH-Ultrasensitive is a simple blood test that can be performed in a laboratory. Before the test, the patient may be asked to avoid certain medications that may affect the results. During the test, our healthcare professional will use a needle to draw blood from a vein in the patient's arm. The blood sample will then be sent to our laboratory for analysis.
Generally, a TSH-us level within the reference range indicates normal thyroid function. The reference range typically falls between approximately 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L (milli-international units per liter).
