Abstract

Manifestation of Hashimoto's Disease

Jacqueline Mooij*

Hashimoto's disease is a condition in which your immune
system assaults your thyroid gland, which is located below your
Adam's apple at the base of your neck. The thyroid gland is a
part of the endocrine system, which produces hormones that
help your body function properly.
Hashimoto's illness, commonly known as chronic lymphocytic
thyroiditis, causes the thyroid gland to become underactive
(hypothyroidism). The most prevalent cause of hypothyroidism is
Hashimoto's disease. It primarily affects women in their 40s and
50s, but it can also affect men and women of any age, as well as
children.
