Hashimoto's thyroiditis

We are a European reference center for the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune diseases.

What is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland in such a way that it loses its ability to produce enough thyroid hormones. Hashimoto's disease can lead to hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism explains states of depression and other psychiatric illnesses since the thyroid hormone is essential for brain function.

Symptoms of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

The inflammation caused by Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is pathological and leads to the progressive destruction of the thyroid. This results in a loss of tissue, which outwardly manifests as a tendency towards fatigue, and slowness in thinking and movement. Other typical symptoms of a thyroid deficiency include weight gain or menstrual periods that are heavier than normal in women.

Furthermore, it is very common to have the disease for years without symptoms, and to observe the first symptom of an enlarged thyroid when the disease has progressed. Goiters, however, are not painful.

Causes of Hashimoto's thyroiditis

Although a single cause of chronic thyroiditis cannot be determined, there are several risk factors:

This disease affects women more frequently.
The immune situation that occurs during pregnancy and after childbirth can lead to thyroid problems that disappear between 12 and 18 months later. However, women who have suffered from postpartum thyroiditis are more likely to develop chronic thyroiditis.
Genetic factors or family history
Previous endocrine disorders caused by the immune system
Autoimmune polygrandular syndrome, which may have Hashimoto's disease as one of its consequences.

Treatment of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

As we regulate the immune system, the level of antibodies is reduced. With a personalized Biological Medicine treatment, we will stop the autoimmune process and rely on regenerative medicine to recover the tissue.

The treatment of Hashimoto's thyroiditis focuses on correcting the hypothyroidism it usually causes, generally through replacement therapy with thyroid hormone. This approach helps normalize hormone levels, relieve symptoms, and prevent long-term complications. Regular medical monitoring is essential to adjust the dosage and ensure optimal control of the disease.
