Hashimoto Disease

Hashimoto disease, also called chronic thyroiditis, is a common thyroid gland disorder caused by a reaction of the immune system against the thyroid gland. It can occur at any age, but is most often seen in middle-aged women. The disease begins slowly and may take months or even years for the condition to be detected and for thyroid hormone levels to become lower than normal. Learn more about symptoms and diagnosis.
