Predictive factors in Hashimoto Thyroiditis: And the most common complications in Thyroid Surgery - Tapa blanda

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is the most prevalent autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid gland and a leading cause of hypothyroidism in iodine-sufficient regions. This book aims to fill this gap by providing an extensive overview of HT, encompassing its definition, clinical presentation, and diagnostic criteria. The discussion will delve into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of HT, focusing on the role of immune dysregulation, genetic susceptibility, and environmental triggers in the initiation and progression of the disease.
