Maybe you\u2019re not being testing thoroughly!  Commonly a routine thyroid screening only involves testing the Thyroid  Stimulating Hormone (TSH).  TSH is  produced by the pituitary gland in response to low circulating levels of  thyroid hormone (T4).  The TSH alone  cannot be used to screen for secondary hypothyroidism and usually requires a  measurement of thyroid hormone levels to be adequately interpreted.  A screening of T4 (thyroxine) and T3  (triiodothyronine) in addition to TSH are helpful in determining thyroid  function.  T4 and some T3 are produced by  the thyroid.  T4 converts to T3 outside  the thyroid in most all tissue with the liver and kidney doing the most conversion.  Most of the T3 (80%) is produced outside the  thyroid.  T3 is most responsible for  increasing metabolic rate.<\/p>\n<p>When T4 becomes T3, this causes  energy to be made in each living cell.   T4 can also become Reverse T3 (RT3) which reduces the energy production  in the cell.  Just as a car needs an  accelerator and brakes for proper function, the same is true for the body.  The body needs T3 (the accelerator) and RT3  (the brake) to manage its energy needs.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a low TSH, it could  mean several things:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"checklist\">\n<li>normal thyroid function with optimal T3 and T4<\/li>\n<li>overactive thyroid gland with high T3 and T4<\/li>\n<li>Secondary Hypothyroidism with low T3 and T4 indicates  pituitary gland dysfunction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have a high TSH, it could  mean:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"checklist\">\n<li>Under-active thyroid gland with low or normal T3 and  T4<\/li>\n<li>Rare is pituitary gland tumor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Is It Really the Thyroid?  Because 80% of T3 is produced outside the  thyroid, what appears, clinically, to be low thyroid function could actually  have nothing to do with the thyroid gland.   Many environmental factors, illnesses and drugs affect conversion of T4  to T3.<\/p>\n<p>Many environmental exposures can  affect your thyroid function. See the side bar for environmental aspects you  should be aware of.  As mentioned  previously, maintaining good iodine status is one way to support thyroid  function and combat these environmental exposures but there are other minerals  and amino acids necessary for adequate thyroid hormone production.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to be tested  properly to determine how your thyroid is doing?
