A reappraisal of the role of methimazole and other factors on the efficacy and outcome of radioiodine therapy of Graves' hyperthyroidism.

Abstract:

:The outcome of radioiodine therapy of Graves' hyperthyroidism was retrospectively evaluated in 274 consecutive patients treated from 1975 to 1984. At 1-yr follow-up, permanent hypothyroidism occurred in 36.9% of patients and the cumulative incidence of hypothyroidism progressively increased up to 79.3% after 7-10 yr. At the end of the follow-up period, 148 patients (54%) were hypothyroid, 115 (42%) euthyroid and 11 (4%) still hyperthyroid. The prevalence of hypothyroidism was significantly higher in patients with small goiters (less than or equal to 50 g) than in those with large goiters (greater than 90 g). Moreover, hypothyroidism was more frequent in patients with high thyroglobulin antibodies titers (greater than or equal to 1:25,600) than in those with low titers or negative tests, and occurred earlier in the former group than in the latter ones Correction of thyrotoxicosis was obtained after the administration of a single dose of 131I in 187 patients (63.6%); 69 patients required two doses and 11 three or more doses. Seven patients refused further treatment with 131I after the first dose. In an effort to identify possible factors affecting the efficacy of 131I therapy, we evaluated the results obtained after the administration of the first dose of radioiodine. We found that large goiters, rapid iodide turnover and adjunctive therapy with methimazole shortly after radioiodine were associated with a higher rate of persistence of thyrotoxicosis, whereas an increased prevalence of hypothyroidism was observed in patients with small goiters and in those not treated with methimazole up to one week after 131I.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
