It makes thyroid-stimulating hormone, or TSH, which tells the thyroid gland how much T4 and T3 to produce. The TSH level in your blood reveals how much T4 your pituitary gland is asking your thyroid gland to make. If your TSH levels are abnormally high, it could mean you have an underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism. âTSH levels go in the opposite direction of your thyroid hormone,â Dr. Doria-Medina explains.
When maternal TSH is elevated, measurement of serum FT4 concentration is necessary to classify the patient's status as either subclinical (SCH) or overt hypothyroidism (OH). SCH is defined as a serum TSH between 2.5 and 10 mIU/L with a normal FT4 concentration. Women with a TSH concentration above the trimester-specific reference interval with a decreased FT4, and all women with a TSH concentration above 10.0 mIU/L irrespective of the level of FT4 are also considered to have OH.
