Confirmation of sustained syndrome of inappropriate secretion of thyrotropin (SITSH) is a milestone in diagnosis of β type of resistance to thyroid hormone (RTHβ). The differential diagnoses of RTHβ include TSH-producing pituitary adenoma (TSHoma) and familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH), which also present SITSH. Recently, patients with RTHα caused by a mutation in thyroid hormone receptor α were reported and they did not present SITSH but a decline in the serum T4/T3 ratio. This review was aimed to overview thyroid function tests in RTH and related disorders. First, the characteristics of the thyroid function in RTHβ, TSHoma, and FDH obtained from a Japanese database are summarized. Second, the degrees of SITSH in patients with truncations and frameshifts were compared with those in patients with single amino acid deletions and single amino acid substitutions obtained from the literature. Third, the degrees of SITSH in homozygous patients were compared with those in heterozygous patients with cognate mutations. Finally, the FT3/FT4 ratios in RTHα are summarized. In principle, the TSH values in FDH were within the normal range and apparent FT4 values in FDH were much higher than in RTHβ and TSHoma. The FT3/FT4 values in RTHβ were significantly lower than in TSHoma. The degrees of SITSH in patients with truncations and frameshifts were more severe than those in patients with single amino acid deletions and single amino acid substitutions, and those in homozygous patients were more severe than those in heterozygous patients with cognate mutations. The FT3/FT4 ratios in RTHα were higher than 1.0.
