Thyroid

TSH

Also written as Thyroid stimulating hormone.

Core panel — run every month

What it indicates

The pituitary signal that tells the thyroid gland how much hormone to produce.

Why a series helps

TSH varies through the day and between days by more than most people expect, so one reading is a poor guide to a level.

What this page does not tell you

What a particular TSH result means depends on you: your history, your medication, why the test was taken. Ziro does not interpret results for individuals and does not diagnose. If something in your results warrants a conversation, that conversation is with a doctor, and your results are downloadable so you can bring them.
