Thyroid Awareness

We invite you to support the American Thyroid Association during the month of April to help raise awareness for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis!

The term "Thyroiditis" refers to "inflammation of the thyroid gland". There are many possible causes of thyroiditis. Hashimoto's thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. It is an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies directed against the thyroid gland lead to chronic inflammation. It is not known why some people make antibodies, although this condition tends to run in families. Over time, however, this results in impaired ability of the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones, leading to gradual decline in function and eventually an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Hashimoto's thyroiditis occurs most commonly in middle aged women, but can be seen at any age, and can also affect men, and children.
