Product description Why is this test important to me? Thyroid disorders are one of the most prevalent medical conditions in the world, particularly for women, with an increasing number of people suffering from an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Early diagnosis means that treatment can be started sooner. Testing for an underactive thyroid Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is secreted by the pituitary gland and regulates the activity of your thyroid gland. A higher than normal TSH level in your blood (over 5μIU/mL) indicates an underactive thryoid.
