Therapy For Graves Disease
Posted by admin under Health
Several factors can influence a person’s susceptibility to Graves’ disease. Hormone levels are probably important in the initiation of the disease.
Graves disease is an autoimmune disorder that involves overactivity of the thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism). It occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid gland and causes it to overproduce the hormone thyroxine. he other causes of thyroid hormone excess are described in other sections of this book. Excess thyroid hormone causes a widespread disturbance in metabolism, since thyroid hormone effectively regulates the metabolic level in the body.
