The main component of the thyroid profile test is the TSH. If the TSH value is higher than the normal range, it means the thyroid gland is not functioning optimally. A higher TSH reading would point to the functioning of the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid gland to perform better. This interpretation of the thyroid profile test means the thyroid gland is working at a lower level than it should be.
