Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thyrotoxicosis refers to a condition of excessive thyroid hormone in the bloodstream, which can lead to symptoms such as weight loss, nervousness, frequent bowel movements, and sweating. Graves disease is one of the most common causes of thyrotoxicosis, characterized by an overactive thyroid gland and exophthalmos (bulging of the eyes). A thyroid scan may be used to diagnose the condition.
