Abstract :
Inappropriately high synthesis and secretion of hormones by the thyroid gland causes hyperthyroidism. This disease has multiple etiologies, presentations, and manifestations and requires various management strategies. Graves’ hyperthyroidism is an autoimmune disease caused bythe stimulation of thyrotropin (TSH) receptor via TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb), resulting in the increased thyroid hormone production and release (1). The management of Graves’ hyperthyroidism involves complex decision making on diagnosis, treatment strategy, and proper follow-up (2).
