What does a level of tsh 0.06 mean?

A TSH level of 0.06 mIU/L is considered to be suppressed, which means that the pituitary gland is not producing enough TSH to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormone. This can be a sign of hyperthyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive and produces too much thyroid hormone.

However, a suppressed TSH level can also be caused by other factors, such as:

* Medications that suppress TSH production, such as thyroid hormone replacement therapy or anti-thyroid drugs

* Pituitary gland disorders, such as pituitary tumors or inflammation

* Hypothalamic disorders, such as empty sella syndrome or craniopharyngioma

* Severe illness, such as sepsis or major surgery

If you have a suppressed TSH level, your doctor will likely order further tests to determine the cause. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause of the suppressed TSH level.
