Combination of recombinant TSH (rhTSH) and lithium overcomes amiodarone-induced low radioiodine uptake in a thyrotoxic female

Laplano N. , Mercado-Asis L.

Background: Recombinant human TSH (rhTSH) promotes 131I uptake in selected populations. Lithium increases RAI retention by reducing intra-thyroidal release. In this report, combination of rhTSH and lithium overcame low RAIU in GravesÂ’ disease.Objective: We aim to present the case of a GravesÂ’ disease given combination of rhTSH and lithium to overcome amiodarone-induced low 131I uptake.Methods and res...
