Subclinical hyperthyroidism is uncommon in the United States. Approximately 0.7% of the U.S. population has subclinical hyperthyroidism with thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels less than 0.1 mIU/ L (milli-international units per liter of blood) and about 1.8% of the population has levels less than 0.4 mIU per L. However, in countries and regions where Symptoms and Causes What are the symptoms of subclinical hyperthyroidism?

BACKGROUND Hypothyroidism is a very common condition, also called an underactive thyroid. It can happen due to damage to the thyroid gland from inflammation or after certain treatments like surgery. If it is not treated it can lead to other illnesses such as heart disease and may even be life threatening. It also causes symptoms like fatigue and weight gain. Patients with hypothyroidism need to take thyroid hormone which is often a lifelong treatment. Current guidelines recommend that the dose of the thyroid hormone should be adjusted to resolve the symptoms and to keep the TSH level within the range of 0.4 – 4 mIU/L. Although this range is considered normal, we do not know for sure whether variations within this range result in different health outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore whether risk of death or illnesses like heart disease and broken bones were more common at certain TSH levels in patients who were treated for hypothyroidism.
