Overview
The hallmark of Hashimoto's thyroiditis is hypothyroidism. A positive history of autoimmune diseases and certain drug use are suggestive of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The most common symptoms of Hashimoto's thyroiditis include fatigue, constipation, and cold intolerance.
History
Patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis usually have the history of other autoimmune diseases and family history of autoimmune diseases. Occasionally, there might be a history of certain drug use like interferon-alpha and monoclonal antibodies.
Symptoms
In many cases, Hashimoto's thyroiditis usually results in hypothyroidism, although, in its acute phase, it can cause a transient hyperthyroidism thyrotoxic state known as hashitoxicosis. Hypothyroidism resulting from Hashimoto's thyroiditis can cause these symptoms: [1][2]
