Test Necessity
TSH testing might be required for individuals for various reasons. This test plays a crucial role in identifying prevalent thyroid conditions like hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, often characterised by common symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, irritability, protruding eyes, an accelerated or irregular heart rate, and excessive sweating.
Additionally, a TSH test can assist in the detection of other thyroid-related disorders, including Graves' disease, which results in heightened thyroid activity, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune ailment where the body's immune system targets the thyroid, and thyroiditis, which involves inflammation of the thyroid gland.
