As of late 2016, at most laboratories in the U.S., the official reference range for the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) blood test runs from approximately 0.5 to 4.5/5.0. The reference range -- also sometimes called the normal range -- is an important part of the complete picture of thyroid diagnosis and treatment. In fact,the entire TSH test as diagnostic and management tool depends on this validity.
TSH Normal Range. The amount of measurement of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in blood is done by a laboratory blood test called a TSH test. The pituitary gland produces TSH (or thyroid stimulating hormone).In general, it modulates the thyroid gland to produce and secrete thyroid hormones into the blood.he official normal range of TSH followed by many doctors and laboratories until 2002 was from between 0.5 to 5. According to this TSH range, a TSH over 5 indicated an under active thyroid (or hypothyroidism); while a low TSH value below0.5 indicated an overactive thyroid or (hyperthyroidism).
