Graves' Disease

Graves disease was named after Dr. Robert J. Graves medicine around the 1830s. It is an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies that attack the body itself due to hyperthyroidism, circulating autoantibodies. The immune system attacks the thyroid gland and causes the thyroid gland to produce excessive thyroxine Thyroxine is a hormone that regulates growth and regulates metabolism in the body. Although thyroxine concentration is high, the metabolic rate of the patient rises, it may affect their appearance and mood.

The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is autoimmune disease called Graves disease. Although both males and females may develop Grave's disease, according to the data of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, women 20 to 30 years old suffer far more than men. A serious illness leads to an overall hyperactivity of the entire thyroid gland, but the exact cause of this condition is not clear. If the thyroid abnormally hypertrophies, goiter will develop. However, the presence of goiter does not necessarily imply thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid can occur in people with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, but it may develop when thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) rises. This is a response to defects in the normal hormone synthesis of the thyroid gland. Goiter should not be confused with thyroid nodules

Graves' Disease If the thyroid gland excessively produces thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism), goiter may occur. In Grave's disease, antibodies produced by the immune system may accidentally attack the thyroid gland, which may produce excess thyroxine. This overstimulation causes thyroid swelling

Graves' Disease The immune system produces antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland and releases excessive thyroid hormone in the blood (hyperthyroidism). Symptoms of Grave's disease include swelling of the eyes and loss of weight, tension, irritability, elevated heart rate, weak and brittle hair. The use of drugs or surgery to destroy or remove the thyroid gland usually requires treatment of Grave's disease. Hashimoto's thyroiditis The antibody produced by the immune system attacks the thyroid gland and slowly destroys cells that produce thyroid hormone. Low levels of thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) usually lasts from a few months to several years. Symptoms include fatigue, constipation, weight gain, depression, dry skin, susceptibility to cold. When you take daily orally synthesized thyroid hormone medicine, you can restore normal body function
