Glossary Thyroid Autoimmunity

immune system attacks thyroid gland, affecting hormone production

Thyroid autoimmunity refers to a condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, which is responsible for regulating metabolism through hormone production. This can lead to disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease, resulting in either an underactive or overactive thyroid, respectively. These conditions can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, weight changes, and hair loss.
