In Grave's disease, the body is producing an antibody called Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) which produces the same effect on the body as Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). This leads to excessive production of thyroid hormone (T3 and T4).

Typical treatments for Graves include antithyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, or thyroidectomy. Don't forget to view all the NCLEX reviews for thyroid disorders.
