Thyroid Function TESTST hyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH):The Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) assay measures the concentration of thyroidstimulating hormone in the serum. TSH assays have been classified by "generation"based on the functional sensitivity of the assay, , the lowest concentration at which theassay is able to maintain an inter-assay precision, expressed in terms of percentcoefficient of variation (%CV), of 20% or less. Virtually all TSH assays currently in useare either second or third generation, with functional sensitivities of to IU/mLand to IU/mL, respectively; thus third generation assays are an order ofmagnitude more sensitive than second generation assays (sTSH).
