- Radioiodine therapy (RAIT) is the preferred treatment for hyperthyroidism in cats, and this study focused on how the presence of thyroid adenoma affects hormone and creatinine levels after treatment.
- A total of 51 hyperthyroid cats were monitored over 6 to 12 months, measuring total thyroxine (TT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and creatinine levels at various intervals after RAIT.
- Results showed that cats with bilateral adenoma had higher TSH levels post-treatment, TT4 levels dropped significantly within a month, and while creatinine levels initially remained stable, some cats showed later increases, indicating that monitoring for potential hypothyroidism should continue for at least 6 to
