Mrs. TT had a laboratory blood test done. Her test result shows that her thyroxine (T4) level is 7 picomol/L and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level is 8 mlU/L. What is a likely diagnosis for Mrs. TT based on her test result? Briefly explain your answer. T4 reference range: 10-25 picomol/L TSH reference range: 0.4-5 mlU/L

The subject who was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism was given propylthiouracil (prevents T4 production and conversion of T4 to T3 in the tissues). After 2 months of treatment, her TSH levels increased by 371.15 % and her T4 levels decreased by 42.7 %. Explain why her TSH levels increased and her T4 levels decreased.
