6. Complications
In addition to the symptoms mentioned, Graves’ disease can also result in some potentially serious complications. For example, it can cause heart disorders that can affect the efficiency of the heart. Brittle bones are another potential complication, and this will mean that the patient is more likely to experience bone fractures.
Graves’ disease can also cause pregnancy complications, including miscarriages. It can also cause poor fetal development, and preeclampsia, which can be dangerous for both mother and child. Graves’ disease can also cause a thyroid storm, which is another potentially dangerous condition that means the patient’s hyperthyroidism has become severe.
