What is the history of Graves disease?
When was Graves disease discovered? What is the story of this discovery? Was it coincidence or not?
Graves Disease was discovered by Robert J. Graves, MD "...who first described it in a patient in 1835". A German, Karl Adolph van Basedow, also described the disease in 1840. It was called Baswdow's Disease, but did not realize that Robert Graves already described it a few years earlier.
