Changes in thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibody and thyroid weight following a single radioiodine therapy in hyperthyroidism over 9 years

Conclusions: After a single RAI, both TRAb and TW were significantly decreased compared with the pretreatment value during the 9-years follow up. Hypothyroidism was achieved in about 90% of the patients. Compared with TRAb, TW showed quicker decrease and reached about 9% of the pretreatment value. In contrast, TRAb remained positive 9years after RAI in more than 10% of the patients who attained euthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
