Well, Graves disease, (hyperthyroidism), is more common among people with MC than it is in the general population, but Hashimoto's disease, (hypothyroidism), is even more highly correlated with MC. In general, according to our poll results, the members of this board have thyroid issues at approximately 7 times the average rate of the general population.

Elevated thyroglobulin antibodies are not directly due to MC, however, they are usually associated with nodules on the thyroid gland, which may or may not be malignant.
