5 days ago · What is Graves’ disease? Graves’ disease is the opposite of Hashimoto’s in terms of thyroid function. It is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). This disease occurs when the immune system produces antibodies that attach to the thyroid cells, stimulating them to produce excessive amounts of thyroid hormones.

On occasion, hyperthyroidism returns because of persisting thyroid tissue after ablation and high antibody titers of anti-TSI.
5 days ago · Background: Agranulocytosis is a rare antithyroid drug treatment (ATD) side effect seen in children suffering from Graves’ disease (GD). Neutropenia is a recognized adverse event associated with ATD but has also been reported as pre-treatment neutropenia in GD.
4 days ago · The commonest cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves' disease (GD). Other causes include toxic nodular thyroid disease, trophoblastic disease, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)-secreting pituitary adenoma, and resistance to thyroid hormones. These diseases are characterized by normal or increased thyroid radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU).
