Abstract

Elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is an early manifestation of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). In the early stages of SCH, patients did not have significant clinical symptoms and were therefore often not taken seriously.However, more and more studies have shown that changes in TSH levels are closely related to human health in recent years. This paper summarizes and analyzes the literature about the effect of TSH on the health, summarizes the research progress of TSH and health relationship in recent 10 years, and provides a new way for the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.
