Гипертирео́з (от гипер- + лат. <glandula> thyreoidea «щитовидная <железа>») — синдром, обусловленный гиперфункцией щитовидной железы, проявляющийся повышением содержания гормонов: трийодтиронина (Т3), тироксина (Т4). В зависимости от уровня возникновения нарушения различают следующие типы гипертиреоза: первичный — щитовидная железа, вторичный — гипофиз, третичный — гипоталамус.
