Activity Description

Hashimoto thyroiditis, also known as chronic autoimmune thyroiditis or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disease that leads to the destruction of thyroid follicular cells through immune-mediated processes. This autoimmune condition is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in developed countries and is characterized by the formation of antithyroid antibodies and T-cell activation, which result in progressive fibrosis of the thyroid gland. Individuals with Hashimoto thyroiditis present with varying thyroid function states, including euthyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, overt hypothyroidism, and, in some cases, transient hyperthyroidism. 

This course explores the complexities surrounding Hashimoto thyroiditis, including elusive pathophysiology, interpreting diagnostic study findings, recommended hormone replacement regimens, and emerging dietary approaches. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner's competence in identifying Hashimoto thyroiditis, performing the recommended evaluation, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach when managing this condition.
