Grave's disease is an autoimmune disease which causes hyperthyroidism.(particularly in the developed countries). normally TSH combines with the surface receptors of thyroid cells and causes the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones.
in Grave's disease the thyroid stimulating autoantibodies (B-TSAB) produced by B lymphocytes activate the TSH receptors and increase the secretion of thyroid hormones(thyroxine and triiodothyronine).
Grave's disease is due to elevated thyroid stimulating IgG also knoen as long acting thyroid stimulator (LATS) which activates TSH and, thereby, increases thyroid hormonal production.

Grave's disease is caused by an autoimmune response that leads to the overproduction of thyroid hormones, particularly thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). It is not caused by a specific hormone, but rather by the body mistakenly attacking the thyroid gland.
