摘要
The role of lithium as an adjunct to 131I therapy of thyrotoxicosis has been assessed. Seventeen lithium-131I treated patients and 16 control — 131I treated patients have been followed for almost three years. Five lithium — 131I and 3 control — 131l patients have become hypothyroid with the lithium treated patients developing earlier thyroid failure. Ten lithium and 10 control patients remain clinically and biochemically euthyroid. Two lithium — 131I and 2 control — 131I patients remain on low dose antithyroid drugs. © 1979, Italian Society of Endocrinology (SIE). All rights reserved.
