Product Name: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Assay kit (Fluorescence immunochromatography) Packaging: 20 T/KIT About the Test Purpose of the test Your TSH level provides information about whether your thyroid gland is functioning normally. TSH is often tested as part of a thyroid panel, along with tests of hormones produced by the thyroid gland. If TSH alone is tested and the result is abnormal, additional thyroid tests may be ordered. TSH testing may be used for the following reasons: To diagnose an underactive or overactive thyroid gland To screen for thyroid disease before it causes symptoms, especially in newborns To evaluate a thyroid nodule, which is a lump on the thyroid gland To evaluate a goiter, which is enlargement of the thyroid gland To diagnose or rule out thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, and thyroid cancer To monitor a patient’s response to treatment for hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or another thyroid condition
