Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test

If you have concerns about your thyroid health, it’s important to find out if your TSH levels are within normal range. Taking our TSH test can help you know more about your body’s thyroid levels and whether you might have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) may include⁴:

• Fatigue
• Sensitivity to cold
• Dry skin
• Weight gain
• Depression
• Muscle weakness, aches, tenderness or stiffness
• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Constipation

Symptoms of hyperthyroidism (an underactive thyroid) may include⁵:

• Fast or irregular heartbeat
• Moist skin
• Tremors in the hands or fingers
• Increase in appetite
• Sweating
• Nervousness, anxiety or irritability
• Sensitivity to heat
• Weight loss
• Increased frequency of bowel movements
  

According to the American Thyroid Association, you should begin screening for thyroid dysfunction at age 35, and take follow-up tests every 5 years.⁶

Your testing will be performed in a CLIA-certified clinical laboratory. Labcorp provides leading-edge medical laboratory tests and services through a national network of primary clinical laboratories and specialty testing laboratories. Our labs perform regular quality assurance testing to ensure our results are accurate.

Your results will be provided to you through our secure online portal to view or print. Results are also made available through a secure portal to the independent healthcare provider who placed your test order.  If you are accessing your results through your Labcorp Patient™ account, all users linked to the account will have access to all OnDemand test results. Results may also be provided to a local, state, and/or federal health authority; for example, many states require the testing laboratory and physician to report test results for certain communicable diseases, such as COVID-19, to local or state health departments.
