Predictive factors for the outcome of radioiodine therapy in patients with benign thyroid diseases

CONCLUSION: Reduction of thyroid volume and the percentage of hypothyroid patients one year after RIT was primarily dependent on the type of disease. In MUFA and DISA we could identify volume reduction after 3 months as a reliable predictor for hypothyroidism while in patients with GD a short intra-therapeutic half-life, a large pre-therapeutic volume and active Graves' ophtalmopathy were relevant predictors for treatment failure suggesting an intensified follow-up scheme in these patients.PMID:38190997 | DOI:10.1055/a-2191-3113
