TSH Blood Test
The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) blood test is typically run when one is experiencing low thyroid symptoms like weight gain, fatigue and depression or hyperthyroid type symptoms like weight loss, increased heart rate and insomnia. In standard medicine, TSH is used to monitor replacement hormone treatment.
When monitoring over all thyroid function, we recommend TSH with free T3 and free T4.
