The most common cause of low uptake
thyrotoxicosis is Graves' disease.
- This autoimmune disorder leads to the production of antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland, resulting in excessive production of thyroid hormones.
- This condition is characterized by an enlarged thyroid gland, eye problems, and symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety.
Other less common causes of low uptake thyrotoxicosis include thyroiditis, toxic multinodular goiter, and excessive intake of thyroid hormone medication.
