甲狀腺刺激荷爾蒙 TSH
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

*TSH is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, and its primary function is to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4, regulating metabolism and energy expenditure.

*Normal Range:0.35-4.94 uIU/mL

*Risks of Abnormal TSH Levels
-High TSH (Hypothyroidism):
Elevated TSH levels usually indicate that the thyroid is unable to produce enough T3 and T4. This can lead to symptoms such as: fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold
-Low TSH (Hyperthyroidism):
Low TSH levels typically indicate excessive thyroid hormone production (T3 and T4), which can cause symptoms such as: palpitations, weight loss, anxiety

*How to Maintain Normal TSH Levels
-Regular monitoring:
Individuals with a family history of thyroid disease or those showing related symptoms should have their TSH levels checked regularly.
-Healthy diet:
Ensure adequate iodine intake, as it is essential for normal thyroid function.

*Conclusion
TSH is an important indicator of thyroid health. Both high and low TSH levels can impact metabolism and overall health. Regular monitoring of TSH levels, along with a balanced diet, helps maintain thyroid function and metabolic health.
