Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a rare, debilitating autoimmune disease known as Graves' orbitopathy or thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. After 1 to 3 years, the disease progresses from an active progressive period marked by inflammation to a stable and fibrotic period. It affects approximately 40% of Graves' disease patients. In Graves' disease, autoantibodies (thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin) targeting the thyrotropin receptor cause hyperthyroidism. The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR), which is overexpressed by orbital fibroblasts and B and T cells, plays a critical role in Graves' illness and thyroid eye disease. Thyrotropin receptors and IGF-IRs form physical and functional complexes that cause hyaluronan accumulation and cytokine production, resulting in inflammation, edema, and enlargement of extraocular muscle and adipose tissue. · The incidence of Thyroid eye disease in the USA is 15 to 20 cases per 100,000 population ...
