Detailed explanation-1: -A low level of TSH and high levels of T3 and/or T4 usually means you have an overactive thyroid. Doctors may refer to these measurements as “free” T3 and T4 (FT3 and FT4). What’s considered normal varies depending on things such as your age and the exact testing technique used by the laboratory.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) produced by the pituitary will be decreased in hyperthyroidism. Thus, the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism is nearly always associated with a low (suppressed) TSH level. If the TSH levels are not low, then other tests must be run.

Detailed explanation-3: -If your results show high total T3 levels or high free T3 levels, it may mean you have hyperthyroidism. Low T3 levels may mean you have hypothyroidism, a condition in which your body doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone. T3 test results are often compared with T4 and TSH test results to help diagnose thyroid disease.
