Overview
About this test
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) is usually the first test used to check how well your thyroid gland is working. An abnormal result can point towards an overactive or underactive thyroid, and your GP may follow up with further thyroid hormone tests to build a fuller picture.
What it checks
- Overall thyroid gland activity
- First-line screening for over- or underactive thyroid
