With TSH the results are opposite of what you'd normally think they mean. High TSH means your thyroid is functioning very slowly. Low TSH means your thyroid is overactive.
A lab result with TSH of zero could mean a couple of things. If you're on thyroid hormone it likely means one of two things:
- You took your thyroid medication before the blood test and the medication is affecting your results. If this is the case your results are meaningless and the test needs to be repeated.
- If you didn't take thyroid medication before the test then you're over-medicated in general and your doctor should adjust your medication levels.
If you have Hashimoto's Disease it means that you're currently in the hyperthyroid stage of the disease.
For a more complete understanding of your thyroid function you should have the following tests done:
- TSH
- Free T3
- Free T4
- TPO Antibodies (if you suspect autoimmune disease)
What else can I help you with?
Tsh 9.7 what does that mean?
TSH is thyroid stimulating hormone. 9.7 is the concentration of TSH in your blood.
What is TSH hormone?
TSH is the thyrotropic hormone or thyroid stimulating hormone which is involved in regulating the growth and activity of the thyroid gland.
What is the specific target tissue of TSH and describe it's specific action?
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) targets TSH receptors primarily in the thyroid gland. TSH fits like a key into the receptors (lock) and turns the thyroid 'on' so it will produce thyroid hormones.
What is the target gland for tsh?
the thyroid
What is the effect of TSH on the thyriodectomized rats metabolic rate?
None. TSH is a signal fo rthe thyroid to make and release more thyroid hormone. If the thyroid is removed TSH wil have no effect.
What hormone is needed thyroxine production?
thyroxine is produced in the Thyroid gland
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.
Does increased thyroid hormone production increase or decrease TSH production?
Increase in thyroid hormone will lower TSH production, because there is a feedback loop between TSH that stimulates the production of thyroid hormone and the hormone that then will then regulate the stimulation of TSH so that thyroid hormone is not over produced.
What is a tsh of 0.52?
The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone or TSH test is used to test problems associated with thyroid disorders
State the hormone that normally stimulates the thyroid and the tissue where this hormones originates?
the thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh)..tsh is produced in the anterior pituitary lobe
What hormone regulates thyroid function?
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) regulates thyroid function by stimulating the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones such as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). High levels of TSH can indicate an underactive thyroid, while low levels can indicate an overactive thyroid.
What is The hormone that targets the thyroid gland and triggers the release of thyroid hormone is?
The hormone that targets the thyroid gland and triggers the release of thyroid hormone is thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). It is produced by the pituitary gland in response to low levels of thyroid hormones in the blood. TSH binds to receptors on the thyroid gland, stimulating it to produce and release thyroid hormones.
