Treatment options for patients with recurrent Graves hyperthyroidism after anti-thyroid drug treatment / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Graves'disease (GD) is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism, and its treatment includes anti-thyroid drugs (ATD), radioactive iodine therapy (RAI), and surgical treatment. ATD is the first choice for GD treatment in China, but the high recurrence rate limits its widely clinical application. The therapeutic strategy for patients with recurrent hyperthyroidism after ATD treatment is still controversial.
