The literature search strategy was carried out using Convidence software by including predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. There were 11 selected pieces of literature published from January 2016 to October 2022 Discussion: A total of 11 case studies showed that women dominated cases of hyperthyroidism with a ratio of 3:1. Through a systematic review conducted by researchers, it shows that Graves' disease is the leading risk factor and clinical manifestations such as swelling of the thyroid gland, difficulty breathing, progressive weight gain, tremors, and heart palpitations are often found.
