Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone, leading to a range of symptoms like irritability, muscle weakness, sleep problems, rapid heartbeat, heat intolerance, diarrhea, and weight loss. It matters because these symptoms can significantly affect daily functioning and quality of life, though symptoms vary between individuals and may be less severe in elderly people and during pregnancy.

Giftstruma, vetenskapligt namn hypertyreos, är en endokrin sjukdom som yttrar sig i att sköldkörteln tillverkar för mycket tyreoideahormoner (T4 eller T3), vilket leder till för hög ämnesomsättning. Giftstruma ger upphov till tyreotoxikos, ett kliniskt tillstånd av förhöjda tyroideahormoner i blodet. Tyreotoxikos kan dock ha andra orsaker än giftstruma/hypertyreos, till exempel en svår allmänsjukdom, graviditet eller förlossning, eller vara inducerat av läkemedel med tyroidea. Ett vanligt, men inte nödvändigt, tecken på giftstruma är förstorad sköldkörtel (struma). Den vanligaste formen av giftstruma är Graves sjukdom, som är en autoimmun sjukdom. Dödligheten för giftstruma är sedan läkemedel togs fram mycket låg. Tyreotoxisk kris, tyretoxisk psykos och hjärtsvikt är några allvarliga komplikationer.
