Classification

In rare cases, Hashimoto's thyroiditis may be associated with other endocrine disorders caused by the immune system. On the basis of the involvement of other endocrine disease involvements, Hashimoto's thyroiditis may be classified under the polyglandular autoimmune syndromes.

1. Type 2 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA II).
   • Hashimoto's disease
   • Adrenal insufficiency
   • Type 1 diabetes
2. Type 1 polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGA I):
   • Hashimoto's disease
   • Adrenal insufficiency
   • Fungal infections of the mouth and nails
   • Hypoparathyroidism
