- Autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as autoimmune thyroiditis, which is also known as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, are conditions in which the immune system attacks the body’s own thyroid gland.hile chronic autoimmune thyroid diseases are generally mild or even symptomless, they can progress to significant hypothyroidism. Seek prompt medical care for worrisome symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as depression or unexplained weight gain. 1  Previous. 2  1. 3  2. 4  3.

Autoimmune Diseases Most autoimmune disorders are rare. However, the overall number of cases of autoimmune diseases is rising for unknown reasons. Women are disproportionately affected, representing 80% of people with autoimmune diseases. Some diseases such as lupus and Hashimoto thyroiditis affect 9-10 women for every man affected.hen the immune system fails to recognize self it may produce immune cells or antibodies (called autoantibodies) that target its own cells, tissues, and/or organs. Those attacks cause inflammation and tissue damage that lead to autoimmune disorders.

Itâs Not Just Thyroid Disease While commonly referred to as thyroid diseases, they aren’t just thyroid diseases; both conditions are autoimmune diseases affecting the gland. An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly directs its immune response/attack at an organ. Unfortunately, the cause is not clearly understood… yet. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is caused by the immune system using antibodies to attack proteins in the thyroid gland.

Autoimmune thyroiditis Autoimmune thyroiditis. Autoimmune thyroiditis, (or Chronic Autoimmune thyroiditis), is a chronic disease in which the body interprets the thyroid glands and its hormone products T3, T4 and TSH as threats, therefore producing special antibodies that target the thyroid’s cells, thereby destroying it.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis Also called Hashimoto's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease, a disorder in which the immune system turns against the body's own tissues. In people with Hashimoto's, the immune system attacks the thyroid. This can lead to hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid does not make enough hormones for the body's needs.

Thyroid disorders Thyroid disorders can cause the thyroid gland to become overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). Thyroid disorders are most often due to autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.hyroid disorders: Introduction. Thyroid disorders are common disorders of the thyroid gland. Thyroid disorders include such diseases and conditions as Graves' disease, thyroid nodules, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, trauma to the thyroid, thyroid cancer and birth defects.

Thyroid Diseases Overview of Thyroid Diseases. It is common for people to develop thyroid diseases, such as hyperthyroidism (hyper means too much) and hypothyroidism (hypo means too little.) The two main types of autoimmune thyroid disease fall into hyperthyroidism (Grave's disease), and hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's thyroiditis).ashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the thyroid gland, causing hypothyroidism (a depletion of thyroid hormone.) It is diagnosed by blood tests for thyroid antibodies, and treated with thyroid replacement medications. ISN.

Graves' Disease and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Autoimmune diseases occur when the body mistakes its own tissues for pathogens. The results of this self-destruction are very different, even when the body attacks the same system. Here, we'll compare and contrast Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, two autoimmune diseases of the thyroid.

Thyroid - Hashimoto's disease Things to remember. 1  Hashimoto’s disease is a common cause of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).  Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune condition – immune system cells attack the thyroid gland, and the resulting inflammation and destruction of thyroid tissue reduces the thyroid’s ability to make hormones.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis following Graves' disease. Both Graves' disease and chronic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) are autoimmune diseases of thyroid gland. Graves' disease is caused by stimulation of TSH receptor located on the thyroid gland by an antibody, which is known as TSH receptor antibody (TRAb).
