The incidences of hypothyroidism and its recurrence were studied in 791 patients at varying intervals after I/sup 131/ treatment of hyperthyroidism. Radiotherapy with I/sup 131/ tends to lead to hypothyroidism, both early and, especially, late. After a long remission, however, there is small likelihood of recurrence of hyperthyroidism. The influence of sex, age, type of goiter, and number of I/sup 131/ therapy doses administered on the incidence of hypothyroidism was studied. (auth)
