The term “Thyroiditis” refers to “inflammation of the thyroid gland”. There are many possible causes of thyroiditis (see Thyroiditis brochure). Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. It is an autoimmune disorder involving chronic inflammation of the thyroid. This condition tends to run in families. Over time, the ability of the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones often becomes impaired and leads to a gradual decline in function and eventually an underactive thyroid (Hypothyroidism). Hashimoto’s thyroiditis occurs most commonly in middle aged women, but can be seen at any age, and can also affect men and children..

Most people with Hashimoto’s need treatment. However, if your thyroid is functioning normally, your doctor may monitor you for changes. If your thyroid isn’t producing enough hormones, you need medication. Levothyroxine is a synthetic hormone that replaces the missing thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It has virtually no side effects. If you need this drug, you’ll likely be on it for the rest of your life. Regular use of levothyroxine can return your thyroid hormone levels to normal. When this happens, your symptoms will usually disappear. However, you’ll probably need regular tests to monitor your hormone levels. This allows your doctor to adjust your dose as necessary.
