The thyroid is an endocrine gland that controls metabolism and secretes hormones needed for growth and development. The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to release the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) into the blood. These thyroid hormones help control the rate at which the body uses energy. This test measures the levels of TSH to screen and diagnose thyroid disorders and to monitor treatment of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
