Treatment for Graves’ Disease and its Recurrence
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
The most common cause of hyperthyroidism worldwide is Graves’ disease (GD). Therapeutic options for GD include anti thyroid drugs (ATD), radioactive iodine, and thyroidectomy. ATD treatment is generally well accepted by patients because it normalize thyroid function in a short time, rarely causing hypothyroidism, and ameliorating immune disorder while avoiding radiation exposure and invasive procedures. However, the relapse rate is a major concern for ATD treatment, the rate of relapse depends on the factors like clinical characteristics, treatment strategies, and genetic and environmental factors.
