Non-Thyroidal Complications of Graves’ Disease: Perspective On Pathogenesis And Treatment

  • Chapter
Thyroid Autoimmunity

Abstract

A substantial number of patients with Graves’ disease have significant and sometimes disabling abnormalities in sites anatomically remote from the thyroid, such as in orbital tissues (ophthalmopathy), pretibial skin (dermopathy), and bones of the extremities (acropachy).
