Abstract:
The study was conducted in 82 simple goiter patients and 91 patients with Basedow’s disease after at least one year using iodized salt daily. The result showed:- The uptake of radioactive iodine (RAIU) by the thyroid gland of simple goiter and patients with Basedow’s disease decreased after 2 and 24 hours taking an oral dose of radioactive iodine, specially in simple goiter patients decreased 40-50%. -The serum concentrations of T3, T4, TSH were following: in simple goiter patients, the serum concentrations of T3 and TSH were little decreased and the T4 serum concentration was increased. However, all the values were still in the normal range of euthyroidism. In patients with Basedow’s diseased the serum concentrations of T3,T4,TSH have not been changed
