A member asked:
Which type of thyroid test is suitable for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TSH: The most sensitive test for determining thyroid levels is the TSH level. Low levels imply that the thyroid function is high, whereas high TSH implies that the thyroid function is low. The thyroid levels (t4, t3) should be measured if the TSH is abnormal.
