ABOUT==>
Hyperthyroidism is a condition of the thyroid. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of your neck. It produces tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which are two primary hormones that control how your cells use energy. Your thyroid gland regulates your metabolism through the release of these hormones. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid makes too much T4, T3, or both. Diagnosis of overactive thyroid and treatment of the underlying cause can relieve symptoms and prevent complications.
CAUSES==>
•Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder, is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It causes antibodies to stimulate the thyroid to secrete too much hormone. •Excess iodine, a key ingredient in T4 and T3 •Thyroiditis, or inflammation of the thyroid, which causes T4 and T3 to leak out of the gland •Tumors of the ovaries or testes benign tumors of the thyroid or pituitary gland •Large amounts of tetraiodothyronine taken through dietary supplements or medication
