Long-term follow-up of patients with Grave's disease treated by subtotal thyroidectomy. 1984

W P Maier, and B M Derrick, and A D Marks, and B J Channick, and F C Au, and H T Caswell

This long-term follow-up study of 83 patients with Grave's disease who were treated by subtotal thyroidectomy reemphasizes the fact that postoperative hypothyroidism occurs primarily in the first postoperative year (27 percent of the study patients). In addition, there was no evidence of progressive increase in the incidence of hypothyroidism in subsequent years. Patients treated with radioactive iodine have a reported incidence of hypothyroidism of 70 percent 10 years postoperatively [4]. The 6 percent incidence of recurrent hyperthyroidism is much less than a reported incidence of 90 percent in patients treated with long-term antithyroid drugs [7]. Subtotal thyroidectomy continues to be an excellent method of treatment for patients with Grave's disease and compared favorably with both radioactive iodine and long-term antithyroid drugs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D006111 Graves Disease A common form of hyperthyroidism with a diffuse hyperplastic GOITER. It is an autoimmune disorder that produces antibodies against the THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR. These autoantibodies activate the TSH receptor, thereby stimulating the THYROID GLAND and hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES. These autoantibodies can also affect the eyes (GRAVES OPHTHALMOPATHY) and the skin (Graves dermopathy).
