Summary
Thyrotoxicosis is a clinical state of hyperdynamic metabolism as a result of excessive circulating thyroid hormone. The most notable causes of thyrotoxicosis are Graves’ disease, Hashimoto thyroiditis, subacute (De Quervain) thyroiditis and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)/thyroid hormone–secreting tumors. Excessive circulating thyroid hormone can have critical effects on many organ systems.
