Radioactive iodine uptake?
DefinitionRadioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) is a test of thyroid function. It measures how much radioactive iodine is taken up by the thyroid gland in a given time period.See also:Thyroid scanAlternative NamesIodine uptake test; RAIUHow the test is performedYou are asked to swallow a liquid or capsule containing radioactive iodine.After a certain period of time (usually 6 and 24 hours later), you must return to the testing center so that the amount of radioactivity in the thyroid gland can be measured. This is done using a device called a gamma probe.The probe is placed over your thyroid gland along the outside of your neck. You will be asked to lie on a table while the scanner moves over your neck.The scan takes about 30 minutes.How to prepare for the testDo not eat for 8 hours before the test.Your health care provider will instruct you, if necessary, to stop taking drugs that may interfere with the test.Drugs that increase results include:BarbituratesEstrogenLithiumPhenothiazinesThyroid stimulating hormoneDrugs that decrease results include:ACTHAntihistaminesAntithyroid drugsCorticosteroidsLugol's solutionNitratesSaturated solution of potassium iodideThyroid drugsTolbutamideTell your doctor if you have any of these factors:Diarrhea (may decrease absorption of the radioactive iodine)Recent x-ray test using iodine-based contrast (within the past 2 weeks)Too little or too much iodine in your dietHow the test will feelThere is no discomfort. You can eat beginning about 1 - 2 hours after swallowing the radioactive iodine. You can go back to a normal diet when the test is finished.Why the test is performedThis test is done to evaluate thyroid function. It is often done when blood tests of thyroid function (such as T3 or T4) show abnormal results.Normal Values6 hours: 3 - 16%24 hours: 8 - 25%Note: Some laboratories only measure at 24 hours. Values may vary depending on the amount of iodine in your diet. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.What abnormal results meanIncreased levels may be due to:Hashimoto's thyroiditis (early)HyperthyroidismGoiterDecreased levels may be due to:HypothyroidismFactitious hyperthyroidismIodine overloadSubacute thyroiditisAdditional conditions under which the test may be performed:Colloid nodular goiterGraves diseasePainless (silent) thyroiditisToxic nodular goiterWhat the risks areThe amount of radioactivity is very small, and there have been no documented side effects. The amount of iodine used is less than the amount of iodine in a normal diet. However, as with any radiation exposure, this test is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.People with a history of allergy to dietary iodine or shellfish may not be able to have this test. A history of allergy to iodine (contrast dye) does not necessaily mean you can't have this test. Talk to your health care provider.Special considerationsThe radioactive iodine leaves your body through your urine. You may need to take special precautions, such as flushing twice after urinating, for 24 - 48 hours after the test. Ask your health care provider or the radiology/nuclear medicine employee performing the scan.ReferencesAACE Thyroid Task Force.
