TSH Test. The most common thyroid test is the blood test that measures the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in your bloodstream. The test is sometimes called the thyrotropin-stimulating hormone test. TSH that is elevated, or above normal, is considered indicative of hypothyroidism.
Symptoms. In children, a TSH level of 5 Milli-international units per liter (mIU/L) or greater is considered elevated. Patients with TSH levels of 4.0 mIU/L or higher are considered to have hypothyroidism. An elevated TSH level means the thyroid gland is not producing enough hormones to support the bodyâs needs.ymptoms.
