Abstract
BACKGROUND Radioiodine therapy (131I) is a standard procedure in the treatment of hyperthyroidism in the course of Graves' disease or toxic nodules. However, the use of 131I in patients with low radioiodine uptake (RAIU) may be controversial. OBJECTIVES To determine the influence of lithium carbonate (Li) on iodine kinetics. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with hyperthyroidism and low RAIU (< 30%) were divided into 2 groups: a Li(-) group of 305...
