Test Comments:

It has been noticed that allopurinol may falsely elevate TSH level. Cotesting with Free T4 and correlation with clinical symptoms are recommended in evaluation of thyroid function in this subset of patients.

TSH -- This assay utilizes biotin technology. Patients taking vitamin supplements containing high doses of biotin (>5 mg/day) may have falsely decreased test results generated.
