D.Grave’s disease

Answer 1

Hint The thyroid gland is present at the front of our neck and shaped like a butterfly. Thyroxine and calcitonin are the hormones secreted by this gland.  Its main function is to regulate the metabolic rate.
Complete Step-by-step answer:
The production of too much thyroxine hormone by thyroid hormone causes hyperthyroidism. Oversecreting of the thyroid or hyperthyroidism can speed up the body’s metabolism. Common symptoms include unintentional weight loss and rapid or irregular heartbeat.
Hormones secreted by the thyroid gland control metabolic rate. Metabolism is directly linked to the number of hormones that circulate in the bloodstream. The overproduction of thyroid hormone increases the metabolic rate which leads to the pounding of the heart, sweating, trembling, and weight loss.
Grave’s disease is an immune system disorder that causes the thyroid to become hyperactive. As a result, it causes hyperthyroidism. Grave’s disease usually affects the people age group between 30-50 years and is more common in women compared to men. Graves’ disease cause malfunction in the body’s immune system and releases abnormal antibodies that acts like thyroid stimulating hormone.
The common symptoms of Graves disease include anxiety disorder, tremors of the hands or fingers, sensitivity to heat, moist skin, unintentional weight loss, development of gaiter, frequent bowel movement, change in the menstrual cycle, bulging eyes, fatigue, palpitations, and sleep disturbance.
Hence the correct answer is option D. Grave’s disease .
Note: Generally Grave’s disease is diagnosed with the help of a blood test and radioactive iodine uptake test. It can be cured by treating the patient with anti-thyroid medication and radioactive iodine therapy. Surgery is not common practice to treat Grave’s disease.
