Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Report

In Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. The resulting inflammation often leads to an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). Hashimoto's disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the U.S.
