What makes levels of TSH low in graves disease?
In graves disease, TSH level is lowered by thyroid gland, when it makes more thyroid hormone.
What is the meaning of laboratory test?
A thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test is an initial test used to determine how your thyroid is functioning. A high TSH level indicates that the thyroid gland isn't making enough hormones, causing hypothyroidism. Conversely, if the TSH level is low it indicates an overactive thyroid, known as hyperthyroidism. The TSH normal level range that most physicians refer to is .3 to 4.5.
What stimulates TRH production?
Your pituitary gland produces the actual thyroid stimulating hormone and regulates your TSH level; and it is the TSH levels produced by the pituitary gland that tells the thyroid to go to work. Low levels of thyroid hormone tells the pitutary to make TSH.

What disorder is the doctor looking for when ordering blood work for Thyroid Free T3 Free T4?
Thyroid function - Hypothyroidism. A low level of thyroxine and high level of TSH indicate an underactive thyroid.
Is TSH level of 27.03 high?
The "normal range of TSH is 0.3 to 3.0 μIU/mL. A TSH level that is above that range would be considered "high". The pituitary produces TSH to tell the thyroid glands to produce more thyroid hormones. If the thyroid glands to not respond, the pituitary produces greater and greater levels of TSH. A TSH level that high indicates that there is something significantly wrong with the thyroid glands, and the patient should be prescribed thyroid replacement hormones.
Why low TSH is called hyperthyroidism and high TSH is called hypo thyroidism?
TSH is not a thyroid hormone - it is a pituitary hormone called Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. It's job is to tell the thyroid how much thyroid hormone to produce. This is called a negative feedback system.The thyroid produces hormone.The brain reads that there is insufficient hormone in the bodyThe pituitary gland in the brain produces more TSH that turns the thyroid onMore TSH means the thyroid produces even more thyroid hormone.When there is too much thyroid hormone in the body, the pituitary turns off TSH as the body doesn't need any MORE thyroid hormone.If the brain, pituitary and thyroid are working properly, thyroid hormones T4 and T3 will be high (hypERthyroidism) when TSH is low, and thyroid hormones T4 and T3 will be low (hypOthyroidism) when TSH is high.
Why low TSH is called hyperthyroidism and high Tsh is called hypo thyoridism?
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. It is produced by the pituitary to turn on the thyroid gland. If TSH is low, that is because there is sufficient (or too much ) thyroid hormone in the body, so the pituitary needs less to keep the thyroid functioning. Thyroid hormones measured in lab tests are usually FreeT4 and FreeT3.
What are different thyroid levels?
Thyroid levels are measurements of the thyroid hormones in your body. Low TSH suggests you have too much thyroid hormone circulating. High TSH suggests you don't have enough thyroid hormone circulating.
What is the thyroid hormone dosage for person with 7.8 TSH level?
what medicine require to take in 7.8 tsh value
The release of T3 and T4 from thyroid as a result of changes in level of TSH in blood is an example of what kind of stimuli?
The release of T3 and T4 from the thyroid resulting from changes in TSH level is an example of a Negative feedback system.
What is the result if the TSH level is 6.1 on diagnosis test?
Thyroid is under active
