AB Hypothyroidism  is  a  common  endocrine  disorder  in  which  the  thyroid  gland  does  not  produce  enough  thyroid  hormone  (primary  hypothyroidism),  or  due  to  inadequate  production  of  hypothalamic  thyrotropin-releasing  hormone  (secondary  hypothyroidism).  The  most  common  causes  of  acquired  hypothyroidism  are  Hashimoto  thyroiditis,  postsurgical  or  postablative  hypothyroidism,  drug-induced,  and  postpartum  thyroiditis.  Hashimoto  thyroiditis  is  the  most  common  cause  of  hypothyroidism  in  adults  and  can  be  associated  with  other  autoimmune  processes,  such  as  systemic  lupus,  rheumatoid  arthritis,  primary  adrenal  insufficiency,  type  1  diabetes  mellitus,  or  Sjogren  syndrome.
