Abstract
/sup 131/I therapy for hyperthyroidism is limited to those over middle age, women who do not want to bear a child, those in whom drugs are ineffective, those who relapse after operation, and those with severe complications. As to young patients, this therapy is limited to those in whom drugs of operation is ineffective. Basic line of absorbed doses is 5,000 rad. As to histological and immunological changes in the thyroid gland after this therapy, a relationship between pathogenesis of hypothyroidism and immunological mechanism must be discussed in future. The recovery rate of hyperthyroidism by this therapy was high (60 - 95%). The reported incidences of hypothyroidism after this therapy for 10 years were 12%, 15%, 29% and 67%. The maximum fault in this therapy is to induce hypothyroidism. Though the incidences of thyroid cancer, leukemia, and malformation after this therapy are not different from their spontaneous occurrence rates, clinical cases must be followed and observed strictly in future. Excepting this therapy, antithyroid drugs and operation are effective for this disease. Therefore, the therapy which is the most advantageous for the patients must be performed.
