Expert Solution
Step 1

Diffuse toxic goiter is an autoimmune disease that causes overproduction of thyroid hormones, a condition known as hyperthyroidism. In this autoimmune disease, the human body produces an antibody called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins, which binds to the thyroid cells and forces the thyroid gland to overproduce the thyroid hormone. The clinical manifestation of this disease can affect the nervous system, brain development, etc. The treatment of toxic goiter includes antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine therapy, surgical removal of the thyroid gland. Antithyroid medicine such as beta-blockers, propylthiouracil, and methimazole are used for the treatment.
