It can assist in determining hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid gland) or hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland). This test is especially recommended for symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, irregular heartbeat, or problems with body temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat does it indicate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTSH levels provide insight into how well the thyroid gland is functioning. The amount of TSH can indicate whether the thyroid is producing too much or too few hormones relative to what the body requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat does a high TSH level mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA high TSH level may indicate hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. This can cause symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, and sensitivity to cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat does a low TSH level mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA low TSH level may indicate hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid gland produces too many thyroid hormones.
