Thyroid: TSH assays
The team at Medmastery are providing LITFL readers with a series of FOAMed courses from across their website.
In this video from the thyroid Disease Masterclass course, we look at thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH); aka thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone.
We review the “sandwich technique“; a common method by which thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is commonly measured.
