The term 'hyperthyroidism' refers to a form of thyrotoxicosis due to inappropriate high synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormone(s) by the thyroid. The leading cause of hyperthyroidism in adolescents is Graves' disease (GD); however, one should also consider other potential causes, such as toxic nodular goitre (single or multinodular), and other rare disorders leading to excessive production and release of thyroid hormones. The term 'thyrotoxicosis' refers to a clinical state resulting from inappropriate high thyroid hormone action in tissues, generally due to inappropriate high tissue thyroid hormone levels.

Article Synopsis
- Hyperthyroidism involves the thyroid gland producing too much hormone, while thyrotoxicosis is the broader condition of having excess thyroid hormones in the bloodstream, regardless of the cause.
- The primary cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves' disease, with other causes including toxic nodular goitre, thyroiditis, and drug or iodine-induced dysfunction.
- Treatments for Graves' disease include antithyroid drugs and surgery, while beta-blockers can help manage symptoms; special care is needed in cases like thyroid storm or hyperthyroidism during pregnancy.
Management of subclinical hyperthyroidism.

The ideal approach for adequate management of subclinical hyperthyroidism (low levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone [TSH] and normal thyroid hormone level) is a matter of intense debate among endocrinologists. The prevalence of low serum TSH levels ranges between 0.5% in children and 15% in the elderly population.
