About the test
This test measures the levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) which are typically lower during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester. Recent studies have found that even slightly elevated TSH levels during pregnancy can lead to negative outcomes. Following this, the American Thyroid Association recommends using specific reference intervals for each trimester to ensure accurate assessment.
Who might consider it:
This test is crucial for pregnant individuals, particularly for monitoring thyroid health and ensuring the well-being of both the mother and the developing baby.
