Discuss thyroid gland dysfunction with respect to increased thyroid hormone production. Provide the name of the disorder when hyperthyroidism is caused by an autoimmune disease and explain the pathophysiology of this type of hyperthyroidism. Briefly describe the derailment of the negative feedback pathway, including whether TSH levels in the plasma would be increased or decreased. Provide a detailed reason for one clinical manifestation of the disorder
