Minimal dosage of iodide required to suppress uptake of iodine-131 by normal thyroid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sodium iodide was given in increasing doses to mentally defective children with normal thyroid function. Maximal suppression of iodine-131 uptake was achieved with 1500 to 2000 micrograms of iodide per square meter of body surface per day, but quickly rebounded when iodide was discontinued. This minimal effective dose is important if countermeasures against fallout are employed.

Diagnostic Whole-Body Scan May Not Be Necessary for Intermediate-Risk Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer after Low-Dose (30 mCi) Radioactive Iodide Ablation
BACKGROUND A diagnostic whole-body scan (WBS) is recommended 6 to 12 months after total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodide ablation in intermediate- or high-risk patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the necessity of a diagnostic WBS after radioactive iodide ablation in intermediate-risk patients with DTC. METHODS A total of 438 subjects we...
متن کاملDetermination of radiation dose rates and urinary activity of patients received Sodium Iodide-131 for treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma [Persian]
Sodium Iodide-131 is administrated for treatment of hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer. Iodine-131 has multiple routs of excretion (Urine, saliva, sweat, milk, feces, exhalation) from the body. Patients receiving Sodium Iodide-131 therapy exposes other persons and the environment to unwanted radiation and contamination. The major source of radiation dose from administration of Iodine-131 ...
متن کاملEffects of marginal iodine deficiency during pregnancy: iodide uptake by the maternal and fetal thyroid.
Iodide uptake by the thyroid is an active process. Iodine deficiency and pregnancy are known to influence thyroid hormone metabolism. The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of iodine deficiency and pregnancy on iodide uptake by the thyroid. Radioiodide was injected intravenously into nonpregnant and 19-day pregnant rats receiving a normal or marginally iodine-deficient diet. The uptak...
متن کاملPhysiologic and False Positive Pathologic Uptakes on Radioiodine Whole Body Scan
A radioiodine whole body scan relies on the fact that differentiated thyroid cancer is more efficient at trapping circulating radioiodine than any other tissues.(Hyer, Newbold et al. 2010) Therefore, when I-131 is administered it accumulates in the thyroid cancer tissues and a radioiodine whole body scan plays an important role in the management of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. U...
متن کاملEstablishment of an Effective Radioiodide Thyroid Ablation Protocol in Mice.
Due to the high variance in available protocols on iodide-131 ((131)I) ablation in rodents, we set out to establish an effective method to generate a thyroid-ablated mouse model that allows the application of the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) as a reporter gene without interference with thyroidal NIS. We tested a range of (131)I doses with and without prestimulation of thyroidal radioiodide upt...
