 Autoimmune Diseases
Approximately 25 percent of patients with Hashimoto's may develop pernicious anemia, diabetes, adrenal insufficiency, or other autoimmune diseases.
There are many different autoimmune diseases, and they can each affect the body in different ways.
An autoimmune reaction to proteins in the thyroid is the underlying cause of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Six children with definite rheumatic/autoimmune diseases were identified: 2 with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, 1 with Hashimoto thyroiditis, 1 with psoriasis and iritis, 1 with diabetes mellitus and psoriasis, and 1 with congenital hypothyroidism and nephrotic syndrome.
While there was no apparent increased risk of systemic lupus erythematosus, the development of some form of autoimmune disease (systemic or organ-specific) in early childhood may be of concern.
During adolescence and young adulthood, individuals with neonatal lupus and their unaffected siblings do not appear to have an increased risk of developing systemic rheumatic diseases.

 Autoimmune diseases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hashimoto's disease is a common form of hypothyroidism, characterised by initial inflammation of the thyroid, and, later, dysfunction and goiter.
Chagas' disease in the chronic phase is believed to result from homology of a T.
Autoimmune diseases arise from an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body.

 THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 2, Ch. 8, Thyroid Disorders
Graves' disease (and Hashimoto's thyroiditis) is sometimes associated with other autoimmune disorders, including insulindependent diabetes mellitus, vitiligo, premature graying of hair, pernicious anemia, collagen diseases, and polyglandular deficiency syndrome.
Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism, is an autoimmune disease, and has a chronic course with remissions and relapses.
Graves' disease is characterized by hyperthyroidism and one or more of the following: goiter, exophthalmos, and pretibial myxedema.

 CYTOLOGY OF GOITER WITH THYROID DYSFUNCTION
The underlying disease is not evident: it could be Graves-Basedow's disease or Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
This led us to change our former practice, and in all of our patients with Graves-Basedow's disease we now perform repeated US 6-monthly until the US pattern of the thyroid normalizes in order to detect a nodule with a US pattern identical to that initially presented for the whole thyroid in Graves-Basedow's disease.
The detection of a hypoechogenic nodule at the time of diagnosis of Graves-Basedow's disease may be very difficult or even impossible.

Among patients with thyroid ophthalmopathy 90% have Graves’ hyperthyroidism, 1% have secondary hyperthyroidism, 3% have Hashimotos disease, and 5% are euthyroid.
Gender and age at presentation as well as accurate preliminary evaluation, are important considerations when planning the management of the disease.
This syndrome refers to a clinical condition in which patients suffering from severe nonthyroidal disease are clinically euthyroid but biochemically dysthyroid.
