TSH Blood Test
A TSH blood test measures thyroid-stimulating hormone levels to evaluate how well the thyroid gland is functioning. It is commonly used to screen for conditions such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. TSH tests are often the first step in thyroid assessment due to their reliability and clinical relevance. The test requires a small blood sample and can be performed in a lab or at home. Accurate TSH blood test results help healthcare providers determine whether further thyroid testing is needed and guide treatment or lifestyle recommendations.
