Overview
There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis is made on laboratory and pathological findings after the clinical suspicion. It includes the TPO antibodies, hypothyroidism, reduced echogenicity on the ultrasound, the presence of germinal centers and lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid gland.
