THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) (200. Rs./-)
THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) (200. Rs./-)
Interpretation
1. TSH results between 4.5 to 15 show considerable physiologic & seasonal variation, suggest clinical correlation or repeat testing with fresh sample .
2. TSH results between 0.1 to 0.45 require correlation with patient age & clinical symptoms. As with increasing age, there are marked changes in thyroid hormone production, metabolism & its actions resulting in an increased prevalence of subclinical thyroid disease .
3. TSH values may be transiently altered because of non thyroidal illness like severe infections,liver disease, renal and heart failure,severe burns, trauma and surgery etc .
4. Drugs that decrease TSH values e.g:L-dopa,Glucocorticoid Drugs that increase TSH values e.g Iodine,Lithium,Amiodarone.
Note: Patients on Biotin supplement may have interference in some immunoassays. With individuals taking high dose Biotin (more than 5 mg per day) supplements, at least 8-hour wait time before blood draw is recommended.
