TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) increases the activity of the Sodium-Iodine Symporter (NIS) that drives iodine into the thyroid and into the cells of the other organs. That is the reason that the TSH blood levels increase when patients are taking iodine â the TSH is needed to drive iodine into the cells.
The level of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) will also have to be measured, as even if this is not produced by the thyroid glands, it is in charge with controlling the T4 and the T3 hormone production. If the levels of TSH are not normal, the T3 and T4 levels are most likely affected as well.
