R94. 6 - Abnormal results of thyroid function studies | ICD-10-CM.
TSH is also used to evaluate patients who are suspected to have other thyroid disorders, such as goiter, thyroid nodule, thyroid cancer, Graves' disease, or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. These disorders can cause hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

Low TSH levels indicate hyperthyroidism. This is also known as an overactive thyroid. If a person's thyroid gland is secreting levels of hormones that are too high, the pituitary gland produces less TSH. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism can include: irregular or rapid heartbeat.
A high TSH level indicates that the thyroid gland is not making enough thyroid hormone (primary hypothyroidism). On the other hand, a low TSH level usually indicates that the thyroid is producing too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism).

The first report of the condition appeared in 1967. Essentially this is decreased end organ responsiveness to thyroid hormones. A new term "impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormone" has been suggested in March 2014 by Refetoff et al. Specialty:
Thyroid hormone resistance (sometimes Refetoff syndrome) describes a rare syndrome in which the thyroid hormone levels are elevated but the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is not suppressed, or not completely suppressed as would be expected. The first report of the condition appeared in 1967.
