iodine uptake

Goitrogenic foods can cause goitres by interfering with iodine uptake.

Perchlorate exposure can harm iodine uptake into the thyroid.

A radioactive iodine uptake test is done to find problems with how the thyroid gland works, such as hyperthyroidism.

This situation contrasts greatly with the elevated iodine uptake found in patients with Graves' disease.

Perchlorate, in large amounts, interferes with iodine uptake into the thyroid gland.

Chronic ingestion of the bulbs reduces iodine uptake by the thyroid gland, which can lead to problems.

Examples of its use in radiation therapy are those where tissue destruction is desired after iodine uptake by the tissue.

Perchlorate adversely affects human health by interfering with iodine uptake into the thyroid gland.

The goitrogenic effect of Brassicaceae vegetables, interfering with iodine uptake, is also a concern at elevated doses.

However, this practice should be viewed with caution as chemical interactions with the adsorbate may affect the iodine uptake giving false results.

Iodine uptake was also noted to return to normal within seven days, indicating control with ipodate with rapid follow up treatment with I is feasible.

A radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) test is done to:

Isothiocyanates, the primary product of glucosinolate hydrolysis, has been known to prevent iodine uptake in the thyroid, causing goiters.

Iodine uptake mediated by thyroid follicular cells from the blood plasma is the first step for the synthesis of thyroid hormones.

A radioactive thyroid scan and radioactive iodine uptake tests, which use radiation and a special camera to determine the cause of your hyperthyroidism.

A radioactive iodine uptake test and thyroid scan together characterizes or enables radiologists and doctors to determine the cause of hyperthyroidism.

This test procedure typically involves two tests performed in connection with each other: an iodine uptake test and a scan (imaging) with a gamma camera.

Quantitative measurements of the thyroid can be performed to calculate the iodine uptake (absorption) for the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.

The iodine uptake can be high in countries with iodine deficiency, but low in iodine sufficient countries.

However, the radioactive iodine uptake (nuclear thyroid uptake test) may still be helpful in the diagnosis and management of amiodarone-induced hyperthyroidism.

By ingesting this large amount of non-radioactive iodine, radioactive iodine uptake by the thyroid gland is minimized.

Thyroxine deficiencies can be caused by inadequate iodine in the diet, and by environmental agents that interfere with iodine uptake or act against thyroid hormones.

During the hyperthyroid phase, iodine uptake is suppressed, while during the hypothyroid phase, uptake is increased.

A thyroid scan may be done with a radioactive iodine uptake test (RAIU) to check how well the thyroid gland is working.

Sodium perchlorate can be used to block iodine uptake before administration of iodinated contrast agents in patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism (suppressed TSH).
