A member asked:

Is it true that people with thyroiditis always end to be hypothyroid?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most of the time: But all of them will not will not become hypothtroid , as it depends on the cause, like in hashimoto's, riedel's , due to radiation, due to drugs , how much functioning thyroid tissue is damaged , but if it is due to infections ( mostly virus ) mot of the thyroid will recover and will be euthyroid ( reverts to normal ).
