Gravesâ disease is an autoimmune disorder. It causes your thyroid gland to create too much thyroid hormone in the body. This condition is known as hyperthyroidism.

These antibodies then attach to healthy thyroid cells. They can cause your thyroid to create too much thyroid hormone.
Causes of Graves' disease. Unfortunately, scientists are still yet to pinpoint an exact cause of Graves' disease. We know the body's immune system is somehow tricked by the antibody associated with Graves' disease to attack the thyroid gland, causing hyperthyroidism.There is research to suggest Graves' disease may be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
