Complications
Obstacles to pregnancy Miscarriage, preterm birth, fetal thyroid malfunction, poor fetal growth, maternal heart failure, and preeclampsia are all possible consequences of Graves' illness during pregnancy.
Graves' illness can cause heart rhythm problems, changes in the structure and function of the heart muscles, and the heart's inability to pump enough blood to the body if left untreated
Thyroid storm, also known as rapid hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxic crisis, is an uncommon but life-threatening consequence of Graves' disease.
Bones that are easily broken. Untreated hyperthyroidism can also result in brittle, weak bones. The ability of your body to incorporate calcium into your bones is hampered by too much thyroid hormone.
Pathophysiology
Hyperthyroidism includes diseases that are a subset of thyrotoxicosis that are caused by excess synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormone by the thyroid.
Thyrotoxicosis is the hypermetabolic condition associated with elevated levels of free thyroxine (FT) and/or free triiodothyronine (FT3).
Define
Thyroid hormone overproduction is caused by an immune system problem (Hyperthyroidism). Graves' disease is a common cause of hyperthyroidism, though it can be caused by a variety of conditions.
