Radio I iodine absorption examination: The investigation and analysis of the results

Radioactive iodine recording test is sponsored by this test. The amount of radioactive iodine absorption in the thyroid is being investigated into eating oral iodine, and the purpose of this investigation is to judge the action of the thyroid. During the teroxin production process, the iodine shield gland is consumed, in the case of hyperthyroidism, that excessive iodine consumption has the lack of activity, it no longer has iodine consumption, in addition to this test, this test is more accurate to diagnose hyperthyroidism than the accuracy of investigating the hypothyroidism. How to perform the exam will be asked to fasten eight hours before the test, and it may need a blood test to learn how the thyroid will work near the exam. During the investigation, the patient will get a liquid containing radioactive iodine, and then he will be allowed to engulf radioactive iodine within an hour or two, and he will be asked to return to certain periods, usually after six and 24 hours of radioactive iodine. At this time, he will be asked to sit down and the technician will post a device called Gamma investigation over the thyroid gland, and the recording process only takes about five minutes, although you may be asked to put for extra photos when the first photos are unclear. The radioactive iodine will secrete 24 to 48 hours after the test in the urine; The amount of radioactive iodine used in this investigation is so small that you do not have to take any precautions. General warnings about the severity of this test almost do not exist; Because the amount of radioactive material in iodine is very small and does not cause long -term damage. People who are sensitive to iodine in foods such as individuals who are allergic to oyster can develop sensitivity after eating iodine, so that the doctor should be informed about the sensitivity of iodine. During pregnancy: This test is not recommended during pregnancy due to radioactive iodine. Breastfeeding: This test is not recommended for women who are breastfeeding because of radioactive iodine, so it is preferable to postpone the investigation or breastfeeding. Children and babies have no special warnings. Elderly: There are no special warnings. Management: There are no special warnings. Medicines affecting the result of the investigation may increase some medications from the amount of iodine absorbed by the thyroid gland, and this medicine contains the following: Barbiturates. Estrogen. Lithium. Antihistamines. Anti -Tyroid medicine. Corticosteroids. Logol solution (antiseptic contains iodine). Nitrate. Saturated solution of potassium. Thyroid medicine. Tollbutamide. The results of the investigation in men contain proper results for men on the following: After 6 hours: 3 – 16% after 24 hours: 8 – 28% in women. Women sound results include the following: After 6 hours: 3 – 16% after 24 hours: 8 – 28%. Results -analysis. Hashimoto in his early stages. Low level of albumin (hypoalbuminemia). Hypothyroidism due to a deficit. The possibilities of a low level include the following: hypothyroidism. Semi -acute inflammation of the thyroid. Oncestor would like.
