TSH

TSH

Measurement of the serum concentration of thyrotropin (TSH), a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 28,000 Daltons and secreted from the anterior pituitary, is generally regarded as the most sensitive indicator available for the diagnosis of primary and secondary (pituitary) hypothyroidism.

The Fortress Diagnostics TSH kit is a colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantitative determination of thyrotropin concentration in human serum.
