摘要
Despite vast worldwide experience in the use of I-131 for treating Graves' disease (GD), no consensus of opinion exists concerning the optimal method of dose calculation. In one of the most popular equations, the administered 1311 dose is directly proportional to the estimated thyroid gland volume and inversely proportional to the measured 24-hour radioiodine uptake. In this study, we compared the efficiency of different tissue-absorbed doses to induce euthyroidism or hypothyroidism within 1 year after radioiodine therapy in GD patients. The study was carried out in 134 GD patients (age, 53 +/- 14 year; range, 16-82 year; thyroid volume, 28 +/- 18 mL; range, 6-95 mL; average 24-hour thyroid uptake, 72%) treated with I-131 therapy. The average radioiodine activity administered to patients was 518 +/- 226 MBq (range, 111-1110). The corresponding average thyroid absorbed dose, calculated by a modified Medical Internal Radiation Dose (MIRD) equation was 376 +/- 258 Gy (range, 99-1683). One year after treatment, 58 patients (43%) were hypothyroid, 57 patients (43%) were euthyroid, and 19 patients (14%) remained hyperthyroid. The patients were divided into 3 groups: 150 Gy (n = 32), 300 Gy (n = 58) and > 300 Gy (n = 44). No significant difference in the rate of recurrent hyperthyroidism was found among the 3 groups (150 Gy: 15%; 300 Gy: 14%; and > 300 Gy: 14%; chi-square test, p = 0.72). Whereas, the rate of hypothyroidism in the 3 groups was significantly correlated with the dose (150 G : 30%; 300 Gy: 46%; > 300 GY: 71%; chi-square test, p = 0.0003). The results obtained in this study show no correlation between dose and outcome of radioiodine therapy (in terms of persistent hyperthyroidism) for thyroid absorbed doses >= 150 Gy, while confirming the relation between the thyroid absorbed dose and the incidence of hypothyroidism in GD patients.
