A TSH test measures the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and tells the thyroid gland to make and release the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). See also: T3 test.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the adenohypophysis. It promotes development of the thyroid gland and maintenance of its normal function. TSH stimulates the thyroid to produce and release the thyroid hormones: T4 and T3 (hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis). Measurement of TSH frequently is included with that of T4 and T3 in a laboratory panel to screen for and to evaluate thyroid disease.
