ABSTRACT

Hashimoto’s disease, also known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. This condition can lead to hypothyroidism, a state where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. This article provides a detailed guide to Hashimoto’s disease, covering its history, epidemiology, causes, symptoms, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment options, and prognosis. Aimed at the public, patients, and their loved ones, this article seeks to provide essential information in clear, understandable terms, helping readers to better manage and understand this condition.
