Subclinical hyperthyroidism
Kenneth Burman
Subclinical hyperthyroidism (SH) is defined biochemically by a low (or undetectable) thyroid
stimulating hormone (TSH) level with a normal serum free T4 and normal serum total T3 levels due to
thyroid disease or exogenous excess thyroid hormone administration.

Small changes in thyroid function cause significant changes in TSH secretion. The normal level of TSH is
0.4 to 5.0 milliunits/L. A TSH level of 0.1 to 0.4 milliunits/L with normal levels of free T3 (FT3) and free T4
(FT4) is diagnostic of subclinical hyperthyroidism. A TSH level of less than 0.3 milliunits/L with elevated
T3 dan T4 is diagnostic of overt hyperthyroidism. A TSH level of 5.0 to 10 milliunits/L with normal levels
of FT3 and FT4 is diagnostic of subclinical hypothyroidism.
