Remarks: TSH (Thyrotropin Hormone) is used for the investigation of hypothyroidism (increased TSH levels) and for the differential diagnosis of primary hypothyroidism from pituitary/hypothalamic hypothyroidism.

High TSH levels may occur in certain patients with thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas.
