TSH Test Kya Hai?
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) ek hormone hai jo pituitary gland (brain ke base mein) banata hai — is ka kaam thyroid gland ko signal dena hai ke woh kitna T3/T4 hormone banaye. TSH blood test thyroid function ka sab se accurate aur pehla indicator hai.
TSH Kaise Kaam Karta Hai?
Yeh ek feedback loop hai: Jab thyroid hormones (T3, T4) kam hote hain, pituitary zyada TSH banata hai thyroid ko "push" karne ke liye. Jab thyroid hormones zyada hote hain, TSH kam ho jata hai. Is liye:
- High TSH = thyroid underactive hai (hypothyroidism) — pituitary "shout" kar raha hai
- Low TSH = thyroid overactive hai (hyperthyroidism) — pituitary "quiet" ho gaya hai
TSH Normal Ranges
| Result | Matlab |
| 0.4-4.0 mIU/L | Normal (approximate range, lab se lab vary) |
| 4.0 se zyada | Hypothyroidism (kam active thyroid) ka ishara |
| 0.4 se kam | Hyperthyroidism (zyada active thyroid) ka ishara |
Note: Pregnancy mein target range different hoti hai — apne doctor se pregnancy-specific range confirm karein.
TSH Test Kab Order Hota Hai?
