Correct me if I am wrong please. B-HCG is high in hyperthyroidism? What about hypothyroidism?

Never heard this one before. However, obscenely high B-hCG such as that seen in molar pregnancy or choriocarcinoma can induce hyperthyroidism due to shared homology of B-hCG with TSH. Is that what you're thinking of?
