Description
Objective: To investigate the effect of 131I therapy Graves disease (GD) complicated with peripheral blood leukopenia in hyperthyroid patients. Methods: Serum T3, T4, TSH levels and peripheral blood white blood cell counts were determined in 16 GD complicated with leukopenia patients both before and after 131I therapy. Results: 131I treatment of GD complicated with leukopenia patients was very successful (P<0.01), the cured rate was 100%. The peripheral blood white blood cell counts were few changes in GD patients both before and after 131I T3, T4, TSH levels was decreased within three months after 131I therapy. Conclusion: The application of 131I to treat GD complicated with leukopenia was very successful. The therapeutic dose of 131I was no remarkable effect on peripheral blood white blood cell. (authors)
