Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, causing inflammation and damage. Thyroglobulin is a protein produced by the thyroid gland and is the target of the autoantibodies produced in Hashimoto's disease. The autoantibodies attack and damage the thyroid gland, leading to decreased hormone production and eventually hypothyroidism. Hemoglobin, bacteria, and viruses are not involved in the development of Hashimoto's disease.
