Abstract:
:While impairment of thyroid function has been demonstrated for high-dose external radiation (e.g., for Hodgkin's disease), the long-term functional effects of low-dose external radiation have not been fully explored. One hundred fifty-three subjects with a past history of thymic irradiation during infancy were stratified into three dose levels and compared with 51 nonirradiated subjects from a sibling cohort with respect to previously undiagnosed clinical and laboratory thyroidal abnormalities. There was no apparent association between previous thymic irradiation and mean serum levels of T4, free T4, TSH, or antithyroid antibodies, nor was the prevalence of undetected hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism significantly altered in the irradiated group. Serum thyroglobulin levels were elevated in subjects with palpable thyroid nodules, all of which occurred in thymic-irradiated subjects. Thus persons who have received low-level external thymic irradiation in infancy should continue to have periodic thyroid examinations, but routine serial measurement of other serum thyroidal parameters does not appear to be indicated.
