What It Is. A thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test is a common blood test used to evaluate how well the thyroid gland is working. The thyroid gland is located at the lower front of the neck. TSH is produced by the pituitary, a pea-sized gland located at the base of the brain.
When a TSH test is ordered, I am trying to determine exactly how much of this hormone TSH is circulating in the blood. This provides me with information about how the thyroid and metabolism are working. When the TSH level is high, it is producing too much âstimulatingâ hormone, which may indicate hypothyroidism.The converse to that is â if it produces too little, and the TSH level is low, then the thyroid is hyperactive. Generally the TSH level is ordered depending on your symptoms.hen a TSH test is ordered, I am trying to determine exactly how much of this hormone TSH is circulating in the blood.
