What Is a TSH Test?

A TSH test is a blood examination that measures the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone in your bloodstream. This hormone is produced by your pituitary gland, a small structure at the base of your brain that acts as your body's hormone control centre.

The test uses a blood sample collected from a vein in your arm. It helps detect thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), which can significantly impact your overall health and well-being.

Frequently asked questions

Find quick answers to the most common questions about health tests, bookings, and reports.

TSH levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day and are highest in the early morning. While you can take the test anytime, morning collection is often recommended for consistency, especially when monitoring treatment.

No, fasting is not required for a standalone TSH test. You can eat and drink normally before the test. However, if combined with other tests, your doctor may provide specific fasting instructions.

Mild dehydration typically doesn't significantly impact TSH results, but severe dehydration may affect blood test accuracy by concentrating blood components. Stay normally hydrated before testing.

No special diet is needed. However, stop high-dose biotin supplements (> 5 mg/day) at least 8 hours before testing. Inform your doctor about all medications you're taking, as some may affect results.
