A member asked:

Autoimmune deseas hashimoto's thyroiditis can it be cured?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Treated not cured. Very easy to treat. This is an autoimmune disease of unknown cause. Body makes antibodies against the thyroid and kills it. Must generally take replacement hormone for life.
