What is another term for Hyperthyroidism?
Addison's Disease
Cushing's Syndrome
Graves' Disease
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
The correct answer is: Graves' Disease
Another term for Hyperthyroidism is Graves' Disease. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine, causing symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heart rate, and irritability. Addison's Disease and Cushing's Syndrome are also endocrine disorders, but they are not related to hyperthyroidism or the thyroid gland. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is a form of hypothyroidism, the opposite of hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. Therefore, Graves' Disease is the only term that accurately describes hyperthyroidism.
