A member asked:

Does low tsh mean i have a problem with my pituitary gland ? hypopituitarism? my free t3 (liothyronine) and t4 are high normal???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low TSH: May reflect Hypopituitary condition if FT4 and FT3 are low also. However if both are high that will indicate Hyperthyroidism. Discuss with your doctor about other modifers like acute illness or medication effects or pregnancy on your thyroid panel result
