What is TSH + Free T4?
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) and Free T4 (thyroxine) are biomarkers that assess thyroid function. TSH is produced in the pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid to produce T4, which is essential for regulating metabolism.
Why should you have TSH + Free T4 tested?
Testing TSH and Free T4 is useful for assessing your thyroid health. It is especially helpful when you experience symptoms that may indicate a thyroid disorder, such as fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings.
What does it indicate?
A TSH + Free T4 test can show whether your thyroid is too active (hyperthyroidism) or not active enough (hypothyroidism). It provides a clear picture of how your thyroid functions.
What does a high TSH level mean?
A high TSH level may indicate hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. This can lead to symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, and sensitivity to cold.
What does a low TSH level mean?
A low TSH level may indicate hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid gland produces too many hormones. This can cause symptoms such as weight loss, palpitations, and nervousness.
