Early changes in thyroid-stimulating antibody activity following radioiodine therapy.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether or not the titre of thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody with stimulating (TRAb-S) activity changes in patients with Graves' disease (GD) or toxic multinodular goitres (TMNG) 3 months after treatment with sodium iodide ((131)I). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Serum specimens were obtained from 21 hyperthyroid patients (15 with GD and 6 w...
متن کاملChanges in salivary gland function following radioiodine therapy of thyroid diseases: A comparison of high-dose therapy for thyroid cancer and low-dose therapy for benign thyroid disease
Introduction: High-dose radioactive iodine therapy in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) may adversely affect the salivary gland function. This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of radioactive iodine (RAI) with dose of 100 mCi in DTC patients compared to lower doses of less than 30 mCi in hyperthyroid cases. Methods: Fifty four patients (13 men and 41 women) age: 42.3±14.3 (21-71) years w...
متن کاملThyroid-stimulating Antibody Activity
To investigate the distribution of thyroid-stimulating antibody (TSAb) activity between IgG subclasses, sera from 11 patients with Graves disease (including the National Institute of Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) Research Standard, long acting thyroid stimulator-B) were fractionated by chromatography on affinity columns of monoclonal IgG subclass antibodies or protein A to deplete al...
متن کاملDetermination of absorbed dose of organs (thyroid, sternum, cervical vertebra) in thyroid cancer patients following radioiodine therapy
Introduction: In patients with thyroid carcinoma, radiation absorbed doses of the thyroid and surrounding tissues is important to weigh risk and benefit considerations. In nuclear medicine, the accuracy of absorbed dose of internally distributed radionuclides is estimated by different methods such as MIRD and direct method using TLD. The aim of this study is using T...
متن کاملRecombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone in radioiodine thyroid remnant ablation.
BACKGROUND To prevent the unwarranted effects of post-thyroidectomy hypothyroidism prior to radiodine (RAI) ablation, patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancer can currently undergo this treatment while in a euthyroid state. This is achieved with the use of recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) injections prior to the ablation. OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the efficacy of ...
