Interpretation
Note :1. TSH levels are subject to circadian variation, reaching peak levels between 2 - 4.a.m. and at
a minimum between 6-10 pm . The variation is of the order of 50% . hence time of the day has
influence on the measured serum TSH concentrations.
. 2. Values <0.03 uIU/mL need to be clinically correlated due to presence of a rare TSH
variant in some individuals.
