TSH is a hormone made by the pituitary gland that tells the thyroid gland how much thyroid hormone to make. Read on to learn more about symptoms and treatments.
Less often, a lack of TSH produced by the pituitary gland (due to dysfunction) can lead to low levelsof thyroid hormone in the blood—a condition known as central hypothyroidism. This is an exception to the general rule that hypothyroidism is associated with a high TSH. Central hypothyroidism ...

hypothyroidism. In primary hypothyroidism, where there is impaired production of thyroid hormones, the TSH level is typically highly elevated. In secondary or tertiary hypothyroidism where the thyroid hormones are low as a consequence of pituitary or hypothalamic lesions, the TSH level is usually low....
Thyroid stimulating hormone functions in the control of thyroid structure and metabolism. The protein encoded by this gene is the beta subunit of thyroid stimulating hormone. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital central and secondary hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Alternative...
