THE MAIN PREDICTORS OF REMOTE RESULTS IN TREATMENT OF THYROTOXICOSIS BY RADIOIDTHERAPY
Abstract
The study included 96 patients with toxic goiter, among whom 57 were diagnosed with Graves’ disease, and
39 – functional autonomy of the thyroid gland, represented by multinodular toxic goiter. All patients received 131I
therapy, after which they were observed dynamically. It was shown that the appointment of standard activity of
131I (400 MBq) is associated with a high risk of thyrotoxicosis recurrence (40.3%) in Graves’ disease. The main
predictors of the long-term results of radioiodine therapy are thyroid volume and the level of the antibodies to the
thyroid stimulating hormone receptor in thyrotoxicosis of autoimmune origin caused by Graves’ disease.
