Predictive factors in Hashimoto Thyroiditis

Bol

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is the most prevalent autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid gland and a leading cause of hypothyroidism in iodine-sufficient regions. This book aims to fill this gap by providing an extensive overview of HT, encompassing its definition, clinical presentation, and diagnostic criteria. The discussion will delve into the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of HT, focusing on the role of immune dysregulation, genetic susceptibility, and environmental triggers in the initiation and progression of the disease. The second aim of this book is to present the most common postoperative complications after thyroidectomy as well as address the preoperative evaluation and surgical management of retrosternal diving intrathoracic goiters.Co-Authors:Dr. Levan Tchabashvili, Department of Surgery, General Hospital of Aigio, GreeceDr. Konstantinos Tasios, Department of Surgery, General University Hospital of Patras, GreeceDr. Elias Liolis, Department of Oncology, General University Hospital of Patras, GreeceDr. Panagiotis Antzoulas, Department of Orthopedics, General University Hospital of Patras, GreeceMrs. Vasiliki Garantzioti, Department of Surgery, General University Hospital of Patras, GreeceMr. Dimitrios Litsas, Department of Surgery, General Hospital of Lamia, GreeceMr. Vasileios Spyropoulos, Department of Surgery, General University Hospital of Patras, GreeceMr. Panagiotis Leventis, Department of Surgery, General Hospital of Aigio, GreeceMr. Nikolaos Kornaros, Department of Surgery, General Hospital of Aigio, GreeceMr. Aristeidis Kokores, Department of Surgery, General Hospital of Aigio, GreeceDr. Francesk Mulita, Department of Surgery, General Hospital of Aigio, Greece
