Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis is the most common autoimmune disease and the main cause of hypothyroidism in the world. From March 14, 2011 to present we have systematically monitored in our outpatient dispensary center over 10,000 persons aged 1 year to 87 years with a newly diagnosed autoimmune thyroiditis (having totally ≈19,500 of their dynamic observations). In this article we address some features of autoimmune thyroiditis, namely aetiology (possible genetic predisposition and the role of some triggers, including excessive iodine intake), early manifestations of hypothyroidism, comorbidity (such as stigmata of non-syndromal marfanoid phenotype, metabolic syndrome, pituitary prolactinomas, lymphomas and some other malignancies) and treatment strategy (the proper time to start therapy, adjustment of the doses of Levothyroxine, monitoring follow-up dinamics of the disease and possible
complications of the therapy). Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in our experience looks like important cause of hyperprolactinemia and female/male infertility and essential prerequisite of early adolescent metabolic syndrome, causing precaucious metabolic senescence in subsequent life.
