Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease that results in an overactive thyroid gland, leading to an elevated basal metabolic rate and symptoms such as weight loss, nervousness, and sweating. Exophthalmos, or protruding eyeballs, is a classic symptom of Graves' disease. However, Graves' disease is not caused by a goitre, which is an enlarged thyroid gland.
