Overaktivitet i skjoldbruskkirtlen, der resulterer i overproduktion af skjoldbruskkirtelhormon og øget stofskifte. Årsager omfatter diffus hyperplasi i skjoldbruskkirtlen (Basedows sygdom), en enkelt knude i skjoldbruskkirtlen og thyreoiditis. Symptomerne skyldes det øgede stofskifte og omfatter vægttab, træthed, varmeintolerance, øget svedtendens, diarré, takykardi, søvnløshed, muskelsvaghed og tremor.
