Chronic thyroiditis with transient thyrotoxicosis - what does this mean

Chronic thyroiditis with transient thyrotoxicosis is a condition caused by an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the thyroid gland. this leads to inflammation of the thyroid gland and a temporary overproduction of thyroid hormones. symptoms may include fatigue, weight loss, increased appetite, and heat intolerance.

What happens during the disease - chronic thyroiditis with transient thyrotoxicosis

Chronic thyroiditis with transient thyrotoxicosis is caused by an autoimmune response, where the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland. this leads to inflammation and the release of excess thyroid hormones, resulting in thyrotoxicosis. over time, the inflammation may cause the thyroid to become underactive, leading to hypothyroidism.
