Thyroid-stimulating hormone. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, TSH, or hTSH for human TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T4), and then triiodothyronine (T3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body.
Talking with your doctor about TSH. A TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) test is used to check the level of TSH in your blood. A TSH test is not the only way to evaluate how well youâre doing. The doctor will also ask you if youâre experiencing any hypothyroidism symptoms. Here are some important questions you might want to ask the doctor about TSH.
