High radio-isotope uptakes in patients with hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism is usually associated with a low radio-isotope uptake by the thyroid gland. We report 8 cases of Hashimoto's thyroiditis with clinical and biochemical hypothyroidism and with borderline high or overtly increased technetium-99m pertechnetate and/or iodine-131 uptakes.
