Introduction: The study describes volume changes of thyroid gland in patients with Graves’disease (GD) after radioactive iodine treatment in the University hospital in Hradec Kralove.
Patients and Methods: Retrospectively, we analyzed 66 patients with GD (57 women and 9 men, mean age 52 ± 13.4 years). Volume of thyroid gland was measured before and 1 year after application of radioactive iodine.
Results: Total decrease of thyroid gland’ volume was 56% (P ≤ 0.001). For detailed analysis we divided our cohort into three subgroups according to the function status one year after treatment: 1. hypothyroidism (n = 39), 2. euthyreoidism (n = 19), 3. continues hyperthyroidism (n = 8). The decrease of 69% (P ≤ 0.001) was found in the first subgroup, of 58% (P = 0.003) in the second subgoups and of 15% (P = 0.309) in the third subgroup, respectively.
Conclusion: The successful therapy respond resulted into significant decrease of thyroid gland volume.
