Gravesâ disease is an autoimmune disorder. It causes your thyroid gland to create too much thyroid hormone in the body. This condition is known as hyperthyroidism. Gravesâ disease is one of the most common forms of hyperthyroidism. In Gravesâ disease, your immune system creates antibodies known as thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins. These antibodies then attach to healthy thyroid cells. They can cause your thyroid to create too much thyroid hormone.
The most common cause (in more than 70% of people) is overproduction of thyroid hormone by the entire thyroid gland. This condition is also known as Gravesâ disease (see the Gravesâ Disease brochure for details). Gravesâ disease is caused by antibodies in the blood that turn on the thyroid and cause it to grow and secrete too much thyroid hormone.
