Autoimmune: Graves' disease is autoimmune. The natural history of Graves' disease is it goes into remission in 30-50% of patients. Some of the patients with Graves eventually become hypothyroid. Lot of people have both Graves and Hashimoto's and the net effect is the result of interplay between stimulating and blocking antibodies.
