Thyrogen kit 0.9mg injection is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone. The binding of this injection to TSH receptors on normal thyroid epithelial cells or well-differentiated thyroid cancer tissue stimulates iodine uptake and organification and synthesis and secretion of thyroglobulin (Tg), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4). One of the effects is that it stimulates any remaining thyroid tissue to take up iodine which is important for radioiodine imaging. It also stimulates the production of thyroglobulin and thyroid hormones if there is any thyroid tissue left. These hormones can be measured in your blood.
