ABSTRACT

Com objetivo de avaliar a influência das drogas antitiroidianas (AT) sobre a eficácia da dose terapêutica de iodo radioativo (DT), avaliamos retrospectivamente 226 prontuários de pacientes portadores de doença de Graves submetidos à DT no período entre 1990 e 2001: 58 pacientes sem antitiroidiano (AT), 119 em uso de propiltiouracil (PTU) e 49 em uso de metimazol (MMI). O estado funcional tiroidiano 9-12 meses pós-DT dividia os pacientes entre curados e não curados. Níveis elevados de T4 livre, captação de 131I em 24 h tiveram influência negativa sobre a taxa de cura, assim como menor dose de iodo administrada e maior volume do bócio (p< 0,05). O percentual de pacientes curados em uso de PTU previamente à DT foi de 70,2 por cento (84/119), enquanto nos pacientes em uso de MMI foi de 85,7 por cento (42/49), e de 84,5 por cento (49/58) nos pacientes sem AT pré-DT (p= 0,034). Em modelo de regressão multivariado, T4 livre > 4 ng/dl, maior volume do bócio, dose terapêutica < 10 mCi e o uso prévio de PTU tiveram relação com menores taxas de cura. Quando comparado ao grupo sem AT, concluímos que PTU implica em maior risco de falência pós-DT (OR= 3,13), o mesmo não ocorrendo com MMI (OR= 1,28).


Aiming at evaluating the effect of antithyroid drugs on the efficacy of radioiodine treatment (RAI) we retrospectively analyzed 226 patients with GravesÆ disease hyperthyroidism submitted to RAI between 1990 and 2001: 58 patients without any antithyroid drug (ATD) prior to RAI, 119 patients using propylthiouracil (PTU) and 49 patients using methimazole (MMI) prior to RAI. Clinical and laboratory parameters 1 year after RAI defined their clinical status (cured or not cured). High serum free T4 and 131-iodine uptake were negatively related with cure as well as lower RAI doses (mCi) and larger goiters (p< 0.05). The percentage of cured patients on PTU prior to RAI was 70.2 percent (84/119), while those on MMI was 85.7 percent (42/49), and 84.5 percent (49/58) of those without ATD prior to RAI (p= 0.034). On logistic regression analysis, free T4 > 4 ng/dl, large goiter, RAI dose < 10 mCi and PTU prior to RAI were related to lower cure rates. Compared to patients with no ATD prior to RAI, we concluded that the previous use of PTU implies in higher failure rates after RAI (OR= 3.13), an effect not observed in patients on MMI (OR= 1.28).
