TSH instructs the thyroid to produce hormones that help regulate a person's energy levels, body temperature, sleep, and more. For many, high TSH levels indicate an underactive thyroid, but people can have the condition and still have TSH that falls into a normal range.
Normal TSH values may not rule out patients that are hypothyroid. It is possible that a large number of hypothyroid individuals are missed using TSH as a screening tool, which is a problem for the patient, who remains hypothyroid, and to the healthcare system as a whole.
While a simple TSH blood test is a very accurate way to screen for hypothyroidism, an elevated TSH alone may not be enough to confirm the diagnosis.
You may need a TSH test if you have symptoms of too much thyroid hormone in your blood (hyperthyroidism), or too little thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism). Symptoms of hyperthyroidism, also known as overactive thyroid, include: Anxiety. Weight loss.
