January is Thyroid Awareness Month

These comprehensive clinical guidelines from the American Thyroid Association (ATA) provide evidence‑based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of hyperthyroidism and other causes of thyrotoxicosis. The document reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic evaluation, and therapeutic options for conditions including Graves’ disease, toxic multinodular goiter, toxic adenoma, thyroiditis, and iatrogenic thyrotoxicosis. It evaluates antithyroid medications, radioactive iodine therapy, and thyroidectomy, outlining indications, contraindications, and comparative outcomes. The guidelines also address special populations such as pregnant patients, children, and individuals with severe or refractory disease. This publication remains a foundational reference for clinicians managing hyperthyroidism and provides a framework for consistent, evidence‑based care.
