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
