Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
From your reported results I can understand that TSH ( 0.11
2) and T4 a low. It is suggestive for Central hypothyroidism. Before giving you detailed information please attach the results with the normal ranges of your Lab and describe her age.
Will be a pleasure to help you further.

Brief Answer:
About low TSH level;
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back,
TSH can be lowered by pathologies of thyroid that cause a slight over production of thyroid hormone (subclinical hyperthyroidism) or there are other causes (outside the thyroid gland) such as depression, certain drugs (corticoteroids) that may lower it.
First the thyroid gland should be explored (ultrasound and TSH receptor antibodies checked) to rule out or confirm a thyroid pathology.
DO not worry, it is not an emergency.
Will be a pleasure to help you further after the above results.
Wish her good health.
