TSH, High Sensitivity

The TSH test is the primary screening tool for evaluating thyroid health. Although TSH is produced by the pituitary gland, it acts as the "control switch" for your thyroid. By measuring TSH, you can determine if your thyroid is overactive (Hyperthyroidism) or underactive (Hypothyroidism). This test is the most sensitive marker for identifying thyroid imbalances before symptoms become severe.
