Extended data
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is not difficult to diagnose. Generally speaking, patients with "goiter" who come to see a doctor for the first time should consider whether it is Hashimoto's thyroiditis, because it is one of the common causes of goiter. Simultaneous determination of thyroid autoantibodies (such as thyroglobulin antibodies and peroxidase antibodies), thyroid hormones, thyrotropin levels and thyroid color ultrasound examination are helpful to diagnose the disease.
In addition, other diseases that can cause goiter or hypothyroidism should be excluded, such as simple goiter and subacute thyroiditis. With the extension of the course of disease, some patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis will have nodular changes, and their clinical manifestations are similar to thyroid cancer, which is easy to be misdiagnosed. At this time, in addition to the above examination to determine whether Hashimoto's thyroiditis exists, the nature of the nodule should also be determined by ultrasound, puncture biopsy and other methods.
