Homework Answers
Ans) Thyroid replacement therapy is prescribed
Explaination:
- Starting with partial or low-dose thyroid hormone replacement is recommended (50-75 µg/day, adjusted every 6-8 weeks to normalize the TSH level). Several weeks after 131I therapy, patients can, in rare cases, become thyrotoxic as a result of vigorous thyroid destruction and release of preformed hormone.
