Hypo? Too late. : Hashimoto's thyroiditis is autoimmune based inflammation of the thyroid gland, confirmed by finding auto antibody anti-thyroid antibodies in serum. By the time your immune system has damaged the thryoid enough that it can no long make enough thyroid (hypothyroidism) I'm not aware that it is reversible. However, most pts do wonderfully on supplemental thyroid hormone (albeit forever).
