TSH is secreted from the pituitary gland and regulates the function of the thyroid. A higher than normal TSH level can be an indicator of an under active thyroid gland and this is why doctors will often request a measurement of your blood TSH levels. If you have symptoms, or are anxious about your health, always speak with your doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTime to result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe test gives a result in 10 minutes at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA test for a single biomarker, such as TSH, is not a diagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot following the instructions exactly as written in the instructions for use may cause a false positive or false negative result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not change your medication, diet or lifestyle solely on the basis of a self-test - always discuss your result with an appropriate healthcare professional first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTSH is just one of several thyroid markers used by doctors to confirm an under active thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). This test should not be used if you are undergoing hormone treatment for thyroid problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you have a positive or negative result, always speak with your doctor if you are concerned about your symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test has a cut-off of 5 µIU\/mL of TSH for a positive result and is calibrated to the WHO 181\/565 international standard. The test has an overall agreement of 99.2%, sensitivity of 100%, and specificity of 98.2% with laboratory tests for TSH.
