Comparative Study of Different I-131 Doses in Graves' Disease
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
