The most common cause of hyperthyroidism in Australia is Graves disease, caused by a defect in immunoregulation in genetically predisposed individuals, leading to production of thyroid-stimulating antibodies. Each of the three modalities of therapy for Graves disease--thionamide drugs, subtotal or total thyroidectomy, and radioactive iodine ablation--can render the patient euthyroid, but all ha...
