TSH levels are typically between 0.4 and 4.0 milliunits per litre in a healthy person. Higher levels point towards a possible case of hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid, while lower levels may be due to hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. Thyroid issues disrupt metabolism and result in hormonal imbalance. They can also lead to other health complications like hair loss, constipation, anaemia, and stunted growth in children. Regular monitoring of TSH levels is vital for individuals suffering from thyroid disorders.

Test Necessity
The TSH test helps in the timely diagnosis of common thyroid conditions like hyper and hypothyroidism. An early diagnosis of thyroid disorders ensures complications like cardiovascular issues, mood disorders, and bone health concerns are prevented. The TSH test is especially important to be taken during and before pregnancy. This is because abnormal thyroid function can impact the normal growth of the foetus. A TSH test may also help identify other thyroid issues, such as Graves' disease, which increases thyroid activity, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition in which the body attacks the thyroid gland. Timely intervention through the TSH test supports overall health and well-being.
Test Preparation
A TSH blood test does not require any special preparation on your part. However, it's crucial to let your doctor know if you're taking any medications that could affect the accuracy of the TSH test.
During the TSH Test
The technicians follow strict safety measures and NABL guidelines. The phlebotomists at PharmEasy use a vein finder device to accurately locate the right vein from which to draw blood with sterile, sealed needles.
