hTSH Price in Bangladesh

What is hTSH?

hTSH stands for human Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland to regulate the thyroid's production of hormones like T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). Measuring hTSH levels is essential for diagnosing thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism (low thyroid function) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

The hTSH test involves a simple blood draw, usually taken from a vein in the arm. Normal levels typically range between 0.4–4.0 mIU/L, though ranges may vary slightly based on lab standards.

High hTSH suggests hypothyroidism, while low hTSH points to hyperthyroidism. Factors like medications, pregnancy, or stress can influence results, making professional interpretation critical for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

What to expect & how to prepare

hTSH is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your hTSH result rather than self-diagnosing.
