Incidence of hypothyroidism after 131I therapy for hyperthyroidism. Relation to pretherapy serum levels of T3, T4 and thyroid antibodies. 1981

G Lundell, and L E Holm, and J G Ljunggren, and J Wasserman

A correlation is reported between serum levels of triiodothyronine (S-T3) and thyroxine (S-T4) before treatment, as well as levels of thyroid antibodies before treatment, and the development of hypothyroidism following 131I therapy in 86 patients with hyperthyroidism. Patients with marked elevation of S-T3 or S-T4 had demonstrable antibodies to thyroid cytoplasmic antigen more often than those with normal or moderately elevated levels, and patients with markedly elevated levels of S-T3 also had a higher incidence of hypothyroidism after treatment. Patients with nodular thyroid glands and with markedly elevated levels of S-T3 required a larger number of 131I doses before no signs of hyperthyroidism persisted in comparison to those with moderately elevated levels.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006980 Hyperthyroidism Hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND. Elevated levels of thyroid hormones increase BASAL METABOLIC RATE. Hyperthyroid,Primary Hyperthyroidism,Hyperthyroidism, Primary,Hyperthyroids
D007037 Hypothyroidism A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.
