In the presence of primary hyperthyroidism, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels are expected to be higher than usual due to increased feedback stimulation of the thyroid gland.
False
True
In primary hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland is overactive, producing high levels of thyroid hormones. This leads to a decreased secretion of TSH due to the negative feedback mechanism on the pituitary gland. Elevated TSH levels typically suggest hypothyroidism, where low thyroid hormone levels lead to increased TSH production. Therefore, elevated TSH as a result of hyperthyroidism is a misconstruction of thyroid physiology.
