Who Should Consider the TSH

People with a family history or symptoms related to the markers in the TSH often discuss the test with a provider. The TSH can serve as a baseline for tracking the same markers over time.

The TSH is performed with a standard blood draw collected at a collection site. A trained professional collects blood sample into a labeled container, and the collection usually takes only a few minutes.
