TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone) tells your thyroid how much thyroid hormone it needs to make. If the thyroid hormone levels in your blood are too low, your pituitary gland makes larger amounts of TSH to tell your thyroid to work harder.

Dr. Rohinipriyanka Suggests...

Take a ABSOLUTE LYMPHOCYTE COUNT (ALC) Test or Take a Chromium - Serum Test
