To calculate the TSH Level:
\[ TSH = \frac{T4 \times T3}{T4 + T3} \]
Where:
A TSH, or Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. It plays a crucial role in regulating the function of the thyroid gland, which is responsible for controlling the body’s metabolism. A TSH test is often used to diagnose thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, by measuring the level of TSH in the blood.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ TSH = \frac{1.2 \times 0.8}{1.2 + 0.8} = 0.48 \text{ mIU/L} \]
The TSH level is 0.48 mIU/L.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ TSH = \frac{2.0 \times 1.5}{2.0 + 1.5} = 0.86 \text{ mIU/L} \]
The TSH level is 0.86 mIU/L.
