Lifelong iodine supplementation

Studies from Adults with Lifelong Iodine Supplementation... [Pg.764]

Sweden has had iodine supplementation since 1936 thus, an adult today has experienced lifelong iodine supplementation. We employed several approaches to study the effect of an iodine-supplementation program (Table 78.1). [Pg.768]

Other treatment options, besides thioamide therapy, involve RAI. The iodine 131 isotope is taken up by the thyroid gland and the radioactivity destroys the gland. RAI is safe, pain free, easy to administer, and very effective. RAI may result in euthyroidism but more frequently results in hypothyroidism requiring lifelong levothyroxine supplementation. RAI should never be given during pregnancy since it crosses the placenta. [Pg.57]
