Thyroid-stimulating hormone. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, TSH, or hTSH for human TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4), and then triiodothyronine (T3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body.
slide 3 of 7. What is the sTSH Blood Test? TSH is measured to determine the amount of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone circulating in the blood. sTSH, or sensitive TSH, is a 3rd generation blood test that is more accurate than previous generations of the test. Because of it's sensitivity, diagnosis of thyroid problems can be made earlier, sometimes leading to treatment or monitoring before any symptoms have developed.
