Although there is much less data on long term results in children, there is a increased use of this treatment in teenagers age 15-18, as discussed below. The epidemic of thyroid cancer apparently induced by radioactive iodine isotopes in infants and children living around Chernobyl suggests caution in use of 131-I in younger children.

In this case study, the patient had been diagnosed with Graves’ disease one month prior and radioactive iodine treatment two days before her admission. Her outpatient labs of a low thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) at .004, high thyroxine (T4) of 45.2 ng/dL, and Triiodothyronine of 453 …

Radioactive iodine or technetium uptake imaging can distinguish between subacute thyroiditis (low uptake) and Graves disease (high uptake). This distinction is important because treatments for Graves disease, including use of antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, and surgery, are not appropriate for transient subacute thyroiditis. 23.

Radioactive Iodine: Radioactive thyroid ablation is becoming the most widely used definitive treatment for thyrotoxicosis due to Grave’s disease or toxic multinodular goiter. It has the advantage of allowing the discontinuation of the use of thionamides with worrisome side effects such as agranulocytosis, hepatotoxicity or vasculitis.

Radioactive Iodine • RAI (Sodium iodide 131) is the agent of choice for Graves’ disease, toxic autonomous nodules, and toxic multinodular goiters. Pregnancy is an absolute contraindication to the use of RAI. • B-Blockers are the primary adjunctive therapy to RAI, since they may be given anytime without compromising RAI therapy.
