High TSH levels may be caused by:
An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
Hashimotos thyroiditis is the most common cause of primary hypothyroidism.
A pituitary gland tumor that is making too much TSH. This is uncommon.
Not taking enough thyroid hormone medicine for treatment of an underactive thyroid gland.
