RAI治療



1 mCi = 1000 uCi

We typically administer 160 uCi/g thyroid tissue [5.9 MBq/g] for Graves' hyperthyroidism and 200 uCi/g [7.4 MBq/g] for toxic adenoma/MNG. A fixed dose of 10 to 15 mCi [370 to 555 MBq] for Graves and 15 to 20 mCi [500 to 740 MBq] for toxic adenoma/MNG is an alternative option.

For patients with significant symptoms of hyperthyroidism and in elderly patients with underlying cardiac disease, we suggest starting a methimazole to achieve euthyroidism prior to radioiodine therapy.

We discontinue methimazole three days prior to radioiodine and restart three days after radioiodine therapy.

For young and middle-aged patients who are less symptomatic, there is no need to pretreat with a thionamide, and radioiodine can be given soon after the diagnosis is made.

Test for Cushing



## Low dose dexamethasone suppression test:
1. Dexamethasone 0.5mg 1# q6h since 9/11~9/12 (at 8AM, 2PM, 8PM, 2AM), total 2days=8 dose  
2. Collect 24 hours(9/12 08:00 ~ 9/14 08:00) Urine 17-OHC, cortisol x 2 days
3. check serum ACTH, cortisol on 9/13 8AM
異常:urine cortisol > 36mcg/day, serum cortisol > 1.4mcg/dL

## High dose dexamethasone suppression test:
1. Dexamethasone 0.5mg 4# q6h since 9/14~9/15(at 8AM, 2PM, 8PM, 2AM), total 8 dose (16mg)
2. Collect 24 hours(9/16 08:00 ~9/17 08:00) Urine 17-OHC, cortisol x 2 days
3. check serum ACTH, cortisol on 9/16 8AM
如果能夠把baseline的urine cortisol抑制90%以上-->猜cushing disease

Test for primary aldosteronism

2. 請病人每天吃鹽6 g,吃兩天
3. 第三天開始留24-hr尿,檢測urine aldosterone, Na/K, Cr.
4. Urine aldosterone excretion >12 to 14 mcg/24 hrs-->確診
5. Urinary excretion of sodium >200 mEq/day-->adequet sample

B. Intravenous sodium loading test (ABAYSALIN)
<<Saline infusion test>>
1. 請病人平躺
2. stat 抽Aldosterone and Renin activity before N/S hydration
3. N/S 2L run 4hr
4. 抽 Aldosterone and renin activity after N/S hydration
5. On EKG monitor, check BP and HR Q15 mins during test
6. If patient complained of SOB, chest discomfort, headache, etc...
    ==> please call Dr to see if the test should be stoped.
7. test 後PAC >10 ng/dL --> 確診,PAC <5 ng/dL --> 排除

C. Captopril challenge test
<<Captopril challenge test>>

2. Captopril 25–50 mg PO

4. Aldosterone >15ng/dl --> 確診

The use of the fludrocortisone suppression test is limited
The captopril suppression test is less standardized alternative if sodium loading is
contraindicated as in heart or renal failure.
