Classification and external resources

Autoimmune thyroiditis is a form of thyroiditis associated with an autoimmune disease where the body treats the thyroid gland and sometimes the hormones it produces as foreign bodies, therefore rejecting and attacking both.

[edit] Causes

[edit] Treatment

Thyroid hormone supplementation may help with symptoms and prevent further conditions like goitre and thyroid gland failure from happening.

[edit] Consequences

Goiter may result from Autoimmune Thyroiditis as a result of an increase in thyroid gland size. As well, the thyroid's ability to produce hormones for the body becomes impaired. Hypothyroidism can develop from the condition.
