Graves disease is an autoimmune condition, true or false?

True
False
Not related
No consensus

The correct answer is: True

Graves disease is indeed an autoimmune condition. It is characterized by an overactive thyroid gland, leading to symptoms such as weight loss, tremors, anxiety, and bulging eyes. In Graves disease, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, causing it to produce an excess amount of thyroid hormones. This autoimmune response is what distinguishes Graves disease from other thyroid disorders.
