Autoimmune thyroiditis represents an important percentage of diseases encountered by an endocrinologist and by any hospital division of Endocrinology. The classification of autoimmune thyroid diseases used in Liege University Hospital is the one proposed by T.F. Davies on the basis of their pathophysiology and the continuum of their clinic phenotype determined by the functional status of the thyroid. The management and therapeutic monitoring of these thyroid disorders completely differ depending on the type of autoimmune thyroiditis affecting the patient.
