A member asked:

Is hashimoto disease a form of graves?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a form, similar : Both hashimotos and graves are autoimmune thyroid diseases. Both are caused by antibodies against the thyroid. The result is opposite. Hashimotos often causes an under active thyroid, and graves causes an over active thyroid.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
