The effect of radioiodine treatment on the characteristics of TRAb in Graves’ disease
Abstract Background Graves’ disease (GD) is one of the most common autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) in humans, and thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb) is a characterized autoantibody in GD. The use of radioactive iodine therapy (RAI) for GD treatment is increasing. Objectives We studied the biol...

The use of radioactive iodine therapy (RAI) for GD treatment is increasing. Objectives We studied the biological properties of TRAb and evaluated the effect of RAI therapy on TRAb in GD patients. Methods In total, 225 patients (22 onset GD patients without 131I therapy, 203 GD patients treated with 131I therapy) and 20 healthy individuals as normal controls were included in this study. Clinical assessments were performed, and we examined in vitro the biological properties of TRAb in the 22 onset GD patients and 20 controls as well as 84 GD patients with 131I therapy. Results Serum TRAb and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) levels increased in the initial year of RAI treatment, and both antibodies decreased gradually after one year. After 5 years from radioiodine treatment, TRAb and TPOAb levels decreased in 88% and 65% of GD patients, respectively. The proportion of patients positive for thyroid-stimulatory antibody (TSAb) was significantly higher in the 7–12-month group, and thyroid-blocking antibody (TBAb) levels were elevated after one year in half of the patients who received 131I treatment. Conclusions Treatment of GD patients with radioiodine increased TPOAb and TRAb (their main biological properties were TSAbs) within the first year after therapy, and the main biological properties of elevated TRAb were TBAbs after 1 year.Ya FangWen-Hua DuCao-Xu ZhangShuang-Xia ZhaoHuai-Dong SongGuan-Qi GaoMei DongBMCarticleDiseases of the endocrine glands.
