Description
431 thyrotoxic patients were examined at varying intervals after therapy with 131I. Relapses of thyrotoxicosis were noted in 30 patients (7%), hypothyroidism in 63 patients (14.4%) and the remaining 338 were euthyroid. A peculiar clinical picture of postradiation hyperthyroidism was ascertained. The euthyroid patients had a lower protein bound iodine concentration than normal individuals (4.9 +- 1.7 and 6.0 +- 1.64 mg/100 ml, respectively) and a negative thyroid response after TRH stimulation in 87 per cent.
