Graves disease, the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in the United States, is an autoimmune disorder in which thyroid-stimulating antibodies activate thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptors, triggering thyroid hormone synthesis.

Radioactive iodine ablation of the thyroid gland is the most common treatment of Graves disease in the United States.

Free T4 and total T3 should be measured four to eight weeks after ablation; if hyperthyroidism persists, these indices should be monitored every four to six weeks and thyroid hormone replacement started in the early stages of hypothyroidism.
