Increased levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) seen in combination with elevated levels of thyroid hormones (T4 and T3) indicate that: Select one: a. hyperthyroidism is probably due to a problem in the pituitary gland or the hypothalamus b. hyperthyroidism is most likely due to auto-antibodies binding to the TSH receptors and stimulating them c. hypothyroidism is caused by a problem in the thyroid gland d. hypothyroidism is always secondary A young woman complained of night sweats, headaches, exhaustion, and palpitations.
