A common form of
hyperthyroidism
with a diffuse hyperplastic
GOITER
. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces
antibodies
against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These
autoantibodies
activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the
THYROID GLAND
and hypersecretion of
THYROID HORMONES
. These
autoantibodies
can also
affect
the eyes (
GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY
) and the
skin
(Graves dermopathy).
