What is needed before Iodine-131 is treated for amphibians?

“Doctor, I’m going to do iodine-131. What do you need to know?” It’s a question that many acetologists ask. Iodine-131 treatment is a safe and efficient acetate treatment, but adequate preparation before treatment is essential. Today we will talk about the preparatory work that is required for people with amphibians before they receive iodine-131 treatment. 1. First of all, you need to confirm with a doctor whether the iodine-131 treatment is suitable for you. In general, Iodine-131 treatments are suitable for the following patients: 1) internal medicine treatments are less effective: long-term drug control is unstable or the side effects are evident. 2) Re-emergence: Re-emergence after surgery or medical treatment. 3) Patients who are unfit for surgery, e.g. old age, poor physical condition, etc. At the same time, pregnant and lactating women are not fit for iodine-131 treatment. 2. De-use of iodine-containing drugs and restriction of iodine ingestion to improve the efficacy of treatment requires a reduction in the reserves of iodine in the body, making it easier for thyroid to absorb iodine-131. 1) Discontinuation of iodine-containing drugs such as potassium iodide, iodide-containing film-making, etc., usually two to four weeks in advance, with a specific cut-off period subject to medical advice. 2) Control of Iodine Ingestion: Avoiding the consumption of iodine-rich foods such as seaweeds, pickles, seafish, etc. during the first two weeks of treatment. Even the iodized salt in the daily diet is recommended for conversion to iodized salt. 3. Adjustments to the thyroid functionor may be made to the use of existing drugs in accordance with your thyroid function. 1) Control of amphibious symptoms: Prior to treatment there is a need to keep the amthopaedic symptoms in a relatively stable state to reduce the risk of complications after iodine-131 treatment. 2) Discontinuation of anti-terrestrial drugs: it is generally suspended seven days before treatment, but at a specific time to be determined by a doctor. 4. Prior to the necessary examination and treatment, the doctor arranges for a number of examinations to assess the thyroid function and overall state, including: 1) the thyroid function examination (e.g. FT3, FT4, TSH level); 2) the thyroid image examination (e.g. ultrasound, radioiodine intake determination); 3) the EK and liver function examination: other complications are excluded. 5. Iodine-131 treatments are performed through oral radioiodine capsules or solutions, with no need to be hospitalized on the day of treatment. 1) Pre-treatment fasting: Usually four hours are required for an empty stomach, as instructed by a doctor. 2) Post-treatment isolation: In order to avoid radiological effects on others, short-term isolation, usually 1-2 days, may be required. 6. Psycho-preparation: understanding the effects of treatment and possible side effects 1) The thyroid function is gradually reduced, and some patients may develop to thyroid reduction, but this can be easily controlled through the use of thyroid hormones. 2) It is normal that there may be slight acetic acid complications at an early stage, and there is no need to worry too much. The preparation of Iodine-131 treatment, while seemingly cumbersome, is at every step to ensure its effectiveness and safety. Good communication with doctors and the timely completion of every preparation will make the treatment easier. I hope this article will help you prepare for iodine-131!
