Correlation between thyroid volume and humoral thyroid autoimmunity after radioiodine therapy in Graves' disease.
BACKGROUND Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder with the presence of TSH receptor autoantibodies (TRAb). TRAb are produced mainly by lymphocytes infiltrating the thyroid gland. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the reduction of thyroid volume (TV) on TRAb level after radioiodine (RAI) administration in a group of patients with Graves' disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS...
متن کاملThymic Involution After Radioiodine Therapy for Graves Disease: Relationships With Serum Thyroid Hormones and TRAb
Context The mechanisms of thymic hyperplasia in Graves disease and its involution after radioiodine (I-131) therapy remain unknown. Objective To examine whether computed tomography (CT) findings of the thymus in patients with Graves disease change before and 6 months after I-131 therapy and to elucidate factors that affect these changes. Design Setting A retrospective, single-center study 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 کاملMyopathy Associated with Acute Hypothyroidism following Radioiodine Therapy for Graves Disease in an Adolescent
We describe acute myopathy following I-131 treatment for hyperthyroidism due to Graves Disease (GD) in an adolescent. A 15 year-old diagnosed with GD required treatment with radioactive iodine (I-131) therapy. Six weeks post I-131, he developed generalized muscle cramps. The CK was 19.800 U/L, the total thyroxine was 2.3 mcg/dL (29.6 nmol/L SI) and the estimated free thyroxine (EFT) was 0.5 ng/...
متن کاملRadioiodine (131-I) treatment for Graves’ disease: Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation for patient personalized dose estimation
Background: Reliable estimation of radiation-absorbed dose is necessary to evaluate the benefits and the risks of radiopharmaceuticals used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes in nuclear medicine. Materiel and Methods: This study included 47 patients treated with iodine-131 for Graves’ disease. A comparative study between Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation and MIRD formalism was carried out to ev...
