Hi Dan,
Is there a difference between Graves' disease and subclinical hyperthyroidism or hyperthyroidism?
I thought if you had either of the above then you were classed as having graves?

Hi Bruce, there is a difference. Hyperthyroidism (including subclinical hyperthyroidism) is a symptom and not a diagnosis. To use an example that is more familiar, it is like having a fever. A fever can be caused by many different diseases.
Similarly, hyperthyroidism can be caused by many different disorders, for example, thyroid nodules, an infection of the thyroid, Graves' disease, a problem with your pituitary gland, etc. It is the job of your endocrinologist to make a diagnosis by finding out what specifically is causing your hyperthyroidism and to treat you accordingly.
Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder characterised by the presence of TSH receptor antibodies. These antibodies can cause problems by stimulating your thyroid in an uncontrolled manner. The antibodies may also cause thyroid eye disease in some patients.
