| description | <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #231f20;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Subclinical thyroid disease is commonly encountered now as more patients with vague, non-specific symptoms are being evaluated with ultra-sensitive, third generation TSH assays. The clinical significance of mild thyroid over-activity and under-activity is uncertain, which has led to controversy over the appropriateness of diagnostic testing and possible treatment.
