摘要: Eighteen patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and 4 a solitary hyperfunctioning thyroidal nodule were given I131 before after administration of 2000 μg. stable iodide as potassium iodide. The difference between the 24-hour uptakes pre-potassium post-potassium tracers was reduced to percentage in manner described by Feinberg associates. inhibition uptake all cases studied striking, differed appreciably from values for normal persons.
