Dr. Pan Yongyuan
Hyperthyroidism may be caused by diffuse goiter, usually due to autoimmune dysfunction and genetic factors leading to excessive synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones. Hyperthyroidism can also result from multinodular toxic goiter, which is generally caused by long-standing thyroid nodules with autonomous dysregulation of hormone secretion.
