What is TSH-Receptor?
The TSH-Receptor (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor) is a biomarker present on the cells of the thyroid gland. This receptor binds TSH, which is released by the pituitary gland, and regulates the production of thyroid hormones.
Why should you test TSH-Receptor?
Testing TSH-Receptor is useful to assess the function of the thyroid gland, especially in conditions such as hyperthyroidism or Graves' disease. It can assist in diagnosing thyroid disorders and in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment.
What does it indicate?
The TSH-Receptor test indicates the activity of the thyroid gland. Abnormalities in the TSH-Receptor may point to an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) or autoimmune diseases such as Graves' disease.
What does a high TSH-Receptor level mean?
A high level of TSH-Receptor antibodies may indicate hyperthyroidism or Graves' disease. It points to increased activity of the thyroid gland.
What does a low TSH-Receptor level mean?
A low level of TSH-Receptor antibodies may indicate a less active thyroid or hypothyroidism. It can also be normal in healthy individuals.
