The TSH Profile uses one sample to measure a defined set of markers. Here is what the TSH Profile covers and how to understand the report from a licensed laboratory.

How the TSH Profile Is Performed: Specimen and Draw

The sample is then sent to a licensed laboratory, where the TSH Profile is analyzed. No special equipment is needed for the TSH Profile beyond what a routine sample collection requires. After collection, the sample is processed and the results of the TSH Profile are reported once the analysis is complete. The TSH Profile uses one sample, so no additional specimen is normally required.

Accuracy and Limitations of the TSH Profile

A value outside the range is not a diagnosis on its own, so the TSH Profile is best interpreted with a provider. The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) blood test measures TSH levels to evaluate thyroid function and symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. No single test, including the TSH Profile, can answer every question about your health. The TSH Profile should be understood alongside your history, symptoms, and any other tests you have had.

High and Low TSH Profile Results

Reference ranges for the TSH Profile are printed on the report, and results should be read against that range. If a TSH Profile value is outside the range, a provider can explain the possible reasons and the next steps. The TSH Profile report shows whether each value sits above, below, or within the reference range. A value above the range is called high and one below is called low, but either can have many explanations.
