What Are the Challenges in Using TSH as a Toxicological Indicator?
One of the challenges in using TSH levels as a toxicological indicator is the variability in individual responses to toxins. Genetic factors, lifestyle, and concurrent exposure to multiple chemicals can influence TSH levels, complicating the interpretation of results. Additionally, TSH levels alone may not provide a complete picture of thyroid health, necessitating the use of comprehensive thyroid panels for accurate assessment.
