Secreting too much of thyroid hormones is a condition called hyperthyroidism. Causes of hyperthyroidism are different <span>and may happen when the entire gland is overproducing thyroid hormone or a single nodule ("hot") is responsible for the excess hormone secretion. Some of the causes </span>of hyperthyroidism<span> include thyroiditis (inflammation of the thyroid), clinical conditions like Graves' disease (an autoimmune disease that affects thyroid), thyroid adenoma (benign tumor of the thyroid gland), hypersecretion of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)…</span>
Ellie's problem is probably being caused by Grave's disease.
Explanation:
Graves Disease is an autoimmune disease, that is, caused by a defect in the immune system that leads to inflammation of the thyroid by the autoantibodies themselves, defense proteins that exist to protect our body from infections and aggressors. The result is that the thyroid begins to secrete more hormone than it should, causing some problems to the body.
The method may be easily applied in order to obtain
additional information for clinical prescriptions from. By new method, we could
easily distinguish gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria in liquid culture
media within 10 min. This modest and fast technique may be beneficial for
determining the treatment course of patients with UTIs, particularly for those
without a prior history of UTIs.
