Hyperthyroidism in Graves’ disease can be managed with administration of radioiodine or pharmacologically with thionamides or surgically treated with subtotal or total thyroidectomy. The choice of therapy will depend on patient age and preferences, thyroid size, disease severity, presence of ophthalmopathy, and local resources and practices. Treatment policies vary considerably within and betwe...
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...

However there remain large variations in practice among physicians in the preferred modality and the method of administration. Patient choice and perceptions also play a big role in the choice of treatment. Radioiodine may be given using fixed high doses or by calcula...
متن کاملTreatment of Graves' hyperthyroidism--prognostic factors for outcome.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether clinical and biochemical features of Graves' disease at presentation predict response to medical and radioiodine treatment. METHODS We carried out a retrospective 10-year study of 194 consecutive Saudi subjects with Graves' disease who were treated with antithyroid drugs, radioiodine therapy, or both, between January 1995 and December 2004 at King Khalid Univers...
متن کاملLithium carbonate plus I in the treatment of Graves’ hyperthyroidism
Aims: Effectiveness of radioiodine for Graves’ hyperthyroidism (GD) depends on its intrathyroidal persistence, which could be enhanced by lithium by blocking the release of organic iodine and thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland. The present aim focused on the effect of the addition of lithium carbonate to I therapy in patients with GD. Methods: 100 consecutive patients with GD were randomly ...
