ABSTRACT
The effect of potassium iodide (KI) on radioiodine uptake (RAIU) before radioisotope therapy in Graves' disease (GD) patients was investigated. A total of 82 patients who had been treated with KI monotherapy before 24-hour RAIU (24 h RAIU) were evaluated and 354 of those who had been treated with thiamazole (MMI) monotherapy were extracted from the 1,130 GD patients who were identified as having had appropriate iodine restriction based on urinary iodine excretion. Urinary iodine excretion (UIE) <200 µg/day was confirmed in all subjects. Propensity score-matching was performed to identify the difference in 24 h RAIU between the KI group and the MMI group. In addition, multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate related to 24 h RAIU. Propensity score-matching resulted in 57 matched patients in each group. After matching, 24 h RAIU was still significantly lower in the KI group than in the MMI group (median 53% (interquartile range 47-61%) vs. 63% (56-66%); p = 0.001). In addition, KI monotherapy was weakly negatively correlated with 24 h RAIU, whereas the female sex and FT3 were very weakly positively correlated on multiple regression analysis. The results suggest that KI monotherapy likely suppressed 24 h RAIU more than MMI monotherapy in GD patients with appropriate iodine restriction, given the difference in the mechanism of hormone suppression.
