Autoimmune related thyroid disease
Are all thyroid issues autoimmune?
Autoimmune thyroid disease is relatively common. Anti-thyroid antibodies are present in up to 20% of the U.S. population. Autoimmune thyroiditis occurs when thyroid cells are damaged by the immune system. It is probably due to a combination of environmental and genetic factors [see brochure on hypothyroidism ].
What is a rare autoimmune disorder?
Myositis is a rare autoimmune disease signified mainly by profound muscle weakness. A Michigan Medicine expert talks about symptoms, treatments and research related to the condition.
What are auto immune conditions?
The immune system might be inappropriately activated against a part of your own body. These are called autoimmune disorders. Common autoimmune disorders are rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, psoriatic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and inflammatory bowel disease.

In autoimmune diseases (“auto” means “self ”), the immune system attacks a normal part of the body. In autoimmune hypothyroidism, the immune system accidentally attacks cells in the thyroid. This causes the cells to become inflamed and damaged, interfering with their ability to make thyroid hormone.

Autoimmune thyroid diseases are common, manifested most commonly as autoimmune thyroiditis (AITD) or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. The prevalence of spontaneous hypothyroidism is as high as 2% in iodine-replete areas such as the United States and Europe.

This is a brief update of selected clinical aspects of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). These aspects are: (1) Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related thyroid disease (IgG4-RTD) (2) Drug-induced AITD (3) Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and Hashimoto’s thy-roiditis (HT) (4) Selenium therapy (5) Small molecule ligand (SML) thyroid-stimulating hormone

It is an autoimmune disorder, caused by the presence of autoantibodies directed against the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor (TRAb), chronically stimulating thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion, and resulting in an excessive amount of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) and gland growth.

Thyroiditis is caused by an attack on the thyroid, causing inflammation and damage to the thyroid cells. Antibodies that attack the thyroid cause most types of thyroiditis. As such, thyroiditis is often an autoimmune disease, like juvenile (type 1) diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. It is not known why certain people make anti-thyroid antibodies,

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease that leads to a generalized overactivity of the entire thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism). It is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States. It is named after Robert Graves, an Irish physician, who described this form of hyperthyroidism about 150 years ago.
