Factors predicting remission in hyperthyroid patients after low-dose I-131 therapy: 20 years retrospective study from a tertiary care hospital
ConclusionHigh therapeutic outcome was observed with a single dose of LDT while on iodine-free diet. Remission with single dose of LDT occurred in 90% patients by 5th month. Of them 56% patients were treatment naive prior to LDT. LDT is thus a safe and effective therapy in hyperthyroid patients and can be recommended as a primary modality of management.
