The natural course in subjects manifesting normal serum thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3), with an elevated thyrotropin (TSH) level demonstrated two distinct outcomes, one progressing to well defined hypothyroidism as expressed by onset of subnormal T4, T3 and a further rise in TSH and the other remaining in the same state. However, thyroid hormone concentrations at the time of diagnosis fail to distinguish between the two groups. Therefore, we examined the influence of alteration in circulating TSH levels on thyroid gland function at the time of diagnosis in subjects with this syndrome to assess the role of pituitary thyroid axis in these different outcomes.
