Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the thyroid gland. It is the most common cause of hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid does not produce enough hormones essential for metabolism and other bodily functions. Symptoms of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis include fatigue, hair loss, weight gain, depression, and cold intolerance. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis can be managed with hormone replacement therapy. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for preventing long-term complications, such as infertility, an increased risk of developing other autoimmune disorders, and heart problems.

Most nodules are cysts filled with fluid or with a stored form of thyroid hormone called colloid. Solid nodules have little fluid or colloid. These nodules are more likely to be cancerous than are fluid-filled nodules. Some types of solid nodules, such as hyperplastic nodules and adenomas, have too many cells, but the cells are not cancer cells.
