| Description: | Surgical removal of most of the thyroid gland is the most direct treatment for hyperthyroidism. Prior to the operation, the patient is first administered with doses of propylthiouracil, which decreases hormone function, until the patient's metabolic rate returns to normal. Then, large doses of iodides are administered for one to two weeks immediately before the operation, causing the gland to recede in size and its blood supply to diminish. These procedures have decreased the operative mortality to 1 in 1000 operations from 1 in 25 prior to development of modern procedures.In other cases of hyperthyroidism, a hyperplastic thyroid gland may also be treated with radioactive iodine. Eighty to ninety percent of the iodine injected is absorbed by the hyperplastic gland. Because the iodine is radioactive, it destroys almost all the secretory cells of the thyroid gland. Usually, the patient is administered with 5 millicuries of radioactive iodine and assessed several weeks later. If the patient remains hyperthyroid, additional doses may be given until normal thyroid function is reinstated. https://thedietmatrix.com/total-thyroid-review/ | |
