What is Thyroid-Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI)?

This test detects specific antibodies called Thyroid-Stimulating Immunoglobulins (TSI) in your blood. These antibodies can mimic TSH and cause the thyroid gland to produce too much hormone.

Why is this test important?

TSI is primarily used to diagnose and monitor Graves' disease, an autoimmune condition that is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It can also help assess the risk of Graves' disease in newborns.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.

It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
