Atrophy of thyroid (acquired) - what does this mean
Atrophy of the thyroid (acquired) is a condition in which the thyroid gland shrinks due to a decrease in the number and size of the gland's cells. it can be caused by a variety of factors, including inflammation, radiation, or autoimmune diseases such as hashimoto's thyroiditis. in some cases, atrophy of the thyroid can lead to hypothyroidism, a condition in which the body does not produce enough thyroid hormones.
What happens during the disease - atrophy of thyroid (acquired)
Atrophy of the thyroid (acquired) is caused by an autoimmune disorder that causes the body to attack the thyroid gland, leading to a decrease in the production of hormones. this can be caused by an underlying condition such as hashimoto's thyroiditis, graves' disease, or other autoimmune disorders. in some cases, the cause is unknown. as the thyroid hormone production decreases, the body's metabolism slows down, leading to a decrease in the size of the thyroid gland.
