Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Radioactive iodine (RAI) administration is an effective and completely established treatment modality in hyperthyroidism including Graves' disease. Despite the long experience with radioiodine for hyperthyroidism, controversy remains regarding the optimal dose of iodine that is required to achieve long-term euthyroidism. The fixed activity administration method does not optimize the therapy, giving often too high or too low radiation to the gland, but the optimal dose per gram of thyroid mass in calculated activity administration method is also under much debates. This prospective study has been designed in order to compare the effect of different calculated doses of radioiodine on Graves' disease treatment outcome.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Low dose of I-131

Patients with Graves' disease who will be treated with I-131, using 100 microcurie per gram (uCi/gr) of thyroid weight

Drug: Low dose of I-131
We wil administer 100 micro currie of iodine per thyroid gram

Active Comparator: Intermediate dose

Patients with Graves' disease who will be treated with 150 microcurie (uCi) of I-131 per gram of thyroid weight.

Drug: Intermediate dose
We will administer 150 micro currie of iodine per thyroid gram

Active Comparator: High dose

Patients with Graves' disease who will be treated with I-131 using 200 uCi/gr of thyroid weight.

Drug: High dose
We will administer 200 micro currie of iodine per thyroid gram

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. change of thyroid related hormones blood level from baseline at 1,3,6 and 12 month [1,3,6,12 month]

    thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), T4, T3

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Rate of hypothyroidism status at 1, 3,6 and 12 month post RAI therapy [1,3,6,12 month]

    Hypothyroidism index

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Change of thyroid volume [1,3,6 and 12 months]

    Change of thyroid volume 1,3,6 and 12 months after therapy using ultrasonography
