A member asked:

I was diagnosed with a toxic goiter and hypothroidism and type 2 diabetes .my blood work had not been dine fir ten years what causes toxic goiters?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Toxic is hyperthyroi: Toxic thyroid means too much thyroid or hyperthyroid. This could come from an autoimmune condition called graves. Some think that autoimmune diseases come after exposure to viruses, with your body making antibodies to the virus. And the antibodies react against your own body too.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
