    Graves' disease activity was assessed using thyroid uptake and TSH binding inhibitory activity (TBIA). While both declined with treatment, neither alone nor combined could predict sustained remission, though recurrence probability could be estimated.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Nuclear Medicine
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Graves' disease is an autoimmune disorder causing hyperthyroidism.
    • Assessing disease activity and predicting treatment outcomes are crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the correlation between in-vivo thyroid uptake and in-vitro TSH binding inhibitory activity (TBIA) in Graves' disease patients.
    • To determine if these measurements can predict sustained remission or recurrence after antithyroid therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Longitudinal study of 27 Graves' disease patients over two years.
    • Disease activity assessed via [99mTc]pertechnetate thyroid uptake during tri-iodothyronine administration.
    • Comparison with in-vitro TBIA assays measuring Graves' immunoglobulin activity.

    Main Results:

    • No initial correlation between thyroid uptake and TBIA at diagnosis.
    • Both pertechnetate uptake and TBIA decreased during a 12-month antithyroid treatment course.
    • A correlation between uptake and TBIA was observed in 11 of 19 patients with detectable TBIA, but this did not predict remission.

    Conclusions:

    • Neither thyroid uptake nor TBIA alone or combined reliably predicts sustained remission in Graves' disease.
    • These markers may offer some insight into the probability of disease recurrence.
    • Further research is needed to identify reliable predictors of long-term treatment success.
