THYROID-STIMULATING IMMUNOGLOBULIN (TSI)

TSI is the autoantibody responsible for Graves disease, the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. By stimulating the TSH receptor, it drives excess thyroid hormone production. Elevated TSI strongly supports a diagnosis of Graves disease and helps distinguish it from other causes of hyperthyroidism.

This test is used to confirm Graves disease when hyperthyroidism is found, evaluate Graves-related eye disease, assess risk of relapse after antithyroid medication, and predict the risk of neonatal hyperthyroidism in pregnant women with a history of Graves. Falling levels during treatment can support decisions about stopping antithyroid medications. Sample type is serum.
