The most common causes of hyperthyroidism are Graves' disease, toxic nodular goiter, and iodine-induced hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism can be treated medically with antithyroid drugs or radioactive iodine, or surgically. Multiple clinical factors must be weighed when choosing a treatment modality. All of the available forms of therapy have advantages and disadvantages, and treatment choices must be individualized.
