T4. This is because T4 is converted into another thyroid hormone called T3 (triiodothyronine), free T4 is the more important hormone to measure.
Yes one may suffer from subclinical hyperthyroidism
The pituitary gland makes thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH tells your thyroid how much thyroid hormone it needs to make.
TSH stands for thyroid stimulating hormone. A TSH test is a blood test that measures this hormone. TSH levels that are too high or too low may be a sign of a thyroid problem
Rarely, people will have normal TSH levels but low T4 levels. This combination suggests secondary hypothyroidism, a condition where thyroid function is impaired due to problems in the pituitary gland.
