(1) Congenital factors, such as abnormal thyroid development, disorders of thyroid hormone synthesis, pregnant women taking too much iodine or taking antithyroid drugs during the fetus, fetal autoimmune thyroid disease, chromosomal aberrations, fetal rubella , etc.;
(2) Acquired factors, such as Hashimoto thyroiditis, antithyroid drug treatment, subacute thyroiditis , Graves disease spontaneous hypothyroidism, iodine deficiency or excessive iodine, thyroid infiltrating lesions, etc.;
(3) Isogenic factors, such as after thyroidectomy, after thyroid radioiodine treatment, etc.
2. Central hypothyroidism:
(1) Secondary hypothyroidism, such as pituitary hypothyroidism, selective TSH deficiency, abnormal TSH biological activity;
(2) Triad hypothyroidism (hypothalamic), such as hypothalamic dysfunction caused by tumors, trauma, and birth defects.
