Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone, leading to an overactive metabolism. The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates the thyroid gland's production of thyroid hormones.
In hyperthyroidism, the TSH level is usually low because the thyroid gland is producing too much thyroid hormone, and the pituitary gland is signaling the thyroid gland to produce less. However, in some cases of hyperthyroidism, the TSH level may be normal or even elevated, depending on the underlying cause of the condition.
A TSH level lower than normal indicates there is usually more than enough thyroid hormone in the body and may indicate hyperthyroidism. When hyperthyroidism develops, free thyroxine (T4) and free triiodothyronine (T3) levels rise above normal
