Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder that results from the deficiency of the thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland, when unable to produce a sufficient amount of thyroid hormone into the blood, slows down the body’s metabolism (breakdown of food).
Thyroiditis is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune condition. Hashimoto’s illness, chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, and autoimmune thyroiditis are additional names for Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis.
