Autoantibodies against thyroglobulin and receptors for thyroid-stimulating hormone cause the progressive destruction. Hashimoto thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism where there are inadequate levels of iodine. It affects people of all ages but is most common in older women and in those with a family history of autoimmune diseases. Thyroid hormone replacement is required.
