ST AIA-PACK TSH

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. When feedback suppression of the pituitary is reduced by a reduced production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), TSH rises in an attempt to increase thyroid hormone production. In primary hyperthyroidism, such as Grave's disease, TSH secretion is suppressed; whereas, in primary hypothyroidism, TSH secretion is elevated. Particularly in subclinical hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, even when the level of thyroid hormones is normal, the level of TSH can be abnormal and thus TSH serves as a sensitive indicator of thyroid function.
