Thyroid -Stimulating Hormone Investigation (TSH)

Thyroid stimulating hormone under the protection of a thyroid hormone examination (TSH) to measure the levels of thyroid hormone in the blood, to diagnose some cases, such as: thyrotoxose and hypothyroidism. How does the thyroid work? To understand how to do a thyroid hormone examination (TSH), you need to know what the mechanism in which the thyroid works, as it follows: The thyroid, which appears in the front of the neck, is to produce some hormones that regulate metabolism in the body.

Medicines that increase the level of alarm hormone: lithium and potassium iodide. Analysis of the results The results of this investigation differ from one laboratory to another, where the natural value in each laboratory is determined in a way other than the other, and the results of the investigation are analyzed as follows: 1. High levels of the thyroid gland stimulating and this indicates the following: hypothyroidism. Hamid washed in the pituitary gland. 2. Low levels of thyroid hormone indicate the following: hyperthyroidism. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Thyrotoxicosis.
