Disease information

Autoimmune thyroid diseases are characterized by dysregulation of specific immune defenses (B and T cells) and production of antibodies which are predominantly of three types:

  • Thyroid peroxidase (TPO)
  • Thyroglobulin (TG)
  • TSH receptor (TR)

Grave’s disease is one of the most common autoimmune diseases in people and the most frequent cause of thyroid hyper-functioning. It can be recognized by a triad of symptoms called Merseburg triad which includes struma, exophthalmos and tachycardia. Another popular autoimmune thyroid disease is Hashimoto thyroiditis which involves progressive destruction of thyroid tissue by T-lymphocytes. So far, there is no absolute cure for Hashimoto thyroiditis. However, treatment aims at reverting the hypothyroid functioning caused by the disease.

Diagnostic Guidelines

Diagnosis of Grave’s disease is based on the detection of thyroid stimulating antibodies (TSH receptor). The prevalence is around 90 to 100 percent. Whereas in Hashimoto thyroiditis, the aim is to detect anti-TPO antibodies which have a prevalence of up to 90 percent whereas anti-TG antibodies occur in 60 to 70 percent of the cases.
