    This document outlines the predisposing and precipitating factors that can lead to hypothyroidism. Predisposing factors include a family history of thyroid disease. Precipitating factors include exposure to high radiation doses, which can directly damage thyroid cells or interfere with cell division and blood supply. This dysfunction of the thyroid and pituitary glands can lead to insufficient thyroid stimulating hormone production and hypothyroidism symptoms like neck swelling and goiter formation.
