Medical Conditions - Subclinical Hyperthyroidism

Subclinical hyperthyroidism is characterized by undetectable low levels of serum TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) with normal serum T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (tetraiodothyronine) levels. This happens due to excess intake of thyroid hormones in hypothyroid patients and thyroid cancer patients. It can also occur in Grave's disease, thyroid nodule, multinodular goiter, etc. Signs and symptoms include bone loss, fracture, nervousness, intolerance to heat, atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, etc. All subclinical hyperthyroidism cases do not require treatment.
