What causes elevated thyroid hormone levels?

Elevated thyroid hormone levels are typically a sign of hyperthyroidism, which can be attributed to a number of conditions, including Graves’ disease, toxic multinodular goiter, subacute thyroiditis, and Hashitoxicosis.

Many factors contribute to the development of these thyroid disorders, and each one requires different treatment approaches. It’s essential to not only get tested and properly diagnosed but also to ensure that you are addressing the underlying factors of your specific condition so that you can have the best outcome for your thyroid healing journey.
