Natural history of subclinical hyperthyroidism in elderly patients with TSH between 0·1 and 0·4 mIU/l: a prospective study

Abstract

In elderly patients with endogenous SCH and TSH between 0.1 and 0.4 mIU/l progression to clinical hyperthyroidism is uncommon (approximately 1% per year), spontaneous TSH normalization may occur, and persistence of SCH for many years is the most likely.
