Autoimmune mechanisms are responsible for only about 10% of all clinically apparent thyroid disorders. However, they play a major role in two of the three serious entities: Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The complex questions that still persist with regard to the etiology and character of the autoimmune processes—and their clinical ...

A considerable proportion of the thyroid diseases is due to aberrant immune reactions toward thyroid antigens. Autoreactivity is considered to be a normal process controlled by several suppressor mechanisms. Malfunction of these suppressor mechanisms may result in autoimmune disease.

Annual Review of Medicine, 1986
The concept of thyroid autoimmune disease now includes the following clinical entities: 1 degree thyrotoxicosis and goitrous thyroiditis (Hashimoto) with their variants, and 1 degree myxedema (atrophic thyroiditis); some cases of sporadic nontoxic goiters; most cases of neonatal hyperthyroidism; and a proportion of congenital athyreotic cretinism ...

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2007
Interesting clinical and basic studies have been published in the field of autoimmune thyroiditis (represented by Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis) since January 2005. The review is organized into four main areas: genetics, environment, adaptive immune system, and innate immune system.The quest continues for the identification of ...

Graves’ disease was first described by Caleb H. Parry in 1825. The first case among his 6 patients seen in 1786 had experienced palpitation, neck swelling and protrusion of eyes after delivery(1). Thus the first patients with Graves’ (Parry’s) disease described in the medical literature was of postpartum onset. In 1840, Karl A.

The immune system represents the body’s main defense against substances derived from external sources (e.g., bacteria and viruses) and from abnormal processes within the body (e.g., tumor cells). These substances are collectively termed “non-self.” In order to keep the immune system in the correct range of activity, the process of non-self recognition ...

Thyroid eye disease is the most common cause of unilateral and bilateral proptosis in adults. It occurs most frequently in women aged 30 to 50 years. Clinical features include eyelid retraction, periorbital edema, conjunctival injection and chemosis, proptosis, extraocular muscle restriction, exposure keratopathy, and optic nerve compromise.

The metabolic alterations of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism produce profound circulatory and cardiovascular changes which can appropriately be considered as “thyroid heart disease.” This form of heart disease is reversible, which emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and proper therapy.

Subclinical thyroid disease, a term applied to patients with no or minimal thyroid-related symptoms with abnormal laboratory values, is diagnosed more frequently with the use of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) screening and newer high-sensitivity assays. These are laboratory diagnoses, with subclinical hypothyroidism defined as an elevated TSH with a
