    Serial thyroid hormone monitoring is key for Grave's disease relapse. Elevated serum triiodothyronine (T3) levels reliably predict hyperthyroidism recurrence after antithyroid drug discontinuation.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Grave's disease is an autoimmune disorder causing hyperthyroidism.
    • Antithyroid drug therapy is a common treatment, but relapse is frequent after discontinuation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reliability of serial serum hormone estimations (T3, T4, TSH) in predicting hyperthyroidism relapse after antithyroid drug therapy cessation.
    • To determine the most effective marker for monitoring relapse in patients with Grave's disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Follow-up of 22 Grave's disease patients after antithyroid drug withdrawal.
    • Serial clinical assessments and simultaneous serum T3, T4, and TSH measurements.
    • Analysis of hormone level changes in relation to clinical relapse.

    Main Results:

    • Serum T3 or T4 elevations may occur initially as a rebound effect, not always indicating relapse.
    • In 13 patients who relapsed, serum T3 elevation preceded clinical hyperthyroidism in 5, while T4 elevation preceded T3 in 8.
    • Hyperthyroidism was diagnosed clinically after elevated T3 in 11 patients; the mean "biochemical hyperthyroidism" period was 12 weeks.

    Conclusions:

    • Serial serum T3 estimations are the most reliable method for monitoring hyperthyroidism relapse in Grave's disease.
    • Early detection of relapse through T3 monitoring allows for timely intervention.
    • Understanding hormone rebound effects is crucial for accurate interpretation of post-treatment thyroid function tests.
