Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease, which often leads to thyroid cell damage due to infection, radiation exposure and other reasons, thus causing thyroiditis.

Here are some ways to judge thyroiditis:

Observe your own symptoms. Patients with thyroiditis may have different degrees of goiter, which feels hard, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as weight loss, tachycardia, fear of heat, hyperappetite and irritability. If the thyroid function is affected, symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain and fear of cold may appear.

perform thyroid function test. This can determine whether there is thyroiditis by detecting the secretion of thyroid hormone. Thyroid function may be hyperfunction or hypofunction.

perform immunological examination. The titers of anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TGA) and anti-thyroid microsomal antibody (TMA) in serum will increase obviously, and both of them are more than 5% (radioimmunoassay), which is of diagnostic significance and can last for several years or more than ten years.

perform routine blood tests. The patients with acute suppurative thyroiditis have increased white blood cells and neutrophil polymorphonuclear fraction. In subacute thyroiditis, white blood cells and neutrophils are mostly normal or slightly elevated, occasionally lymphocytes increase, and a few patients have mild anemia.

The above judgment methods are for reference only. It is recommended to consult a professional doctor for more accurate information.
