| Description | According to the National Institutes of Health, millions of people in the U.S. have thyroid diseases. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is not active enough. If a patient’s thyroid is too active, it makes more thyroid hormones than your body needs. That condition is hyperthyroidism. This activity is supported in part by educational grants from Merck and Astellas. |
