TSH levels vary according to the amount of T4 (thyroxine) that is needed. T4 is converted into T3 (triiodothyronine), the biologically active form of thyroid hormone. In hyperthyroidism, where there is an excess of thyroxine in the body,the level of TSH is usually low and the FT4 and FT3...

Thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland situated near the base of the neck. It has two lobes, one on each side of the wind pipe. It is an endocrine gland responsible for secreting regulatory hormones, T3 and T4 into the bloodstream. These hormones control many vital metabolic processes as...
variability is discussed further inChapter 3. Patients may also present withsubclinical hyperthyroidism, which may or may not lead to overt hyperthyroidism. Subclinical hyperthyroidism is defined by lowTSHlevels and normal T3and T4levels.12The most common causes of hyperthyroidism are outlined inTable ...
Hyperthyroidism is overactivity of the thyroid gland, which means it makes and releases more hormones than your body needs. This can affect your body and how it functions in major ways. Low TSH levels with high levels of thyroid hormones T3 and T4 are common in cases of hyperthyroidism. ...
Thyroid hormones affect many vital body functions, such as the heart rate, the rate at which calories are burned, skin maintenance, growth, heat production, fertility, and digestion. There are 2 thyroid hormones: T4: Thyroxine (also called tetraiodothyronine) T3: Triiodothyronine The Thyroid video...
