After that, you will undergo the necessary additional examination, such as the assessment of liver and kidney function, ultrasound scan of the thyroid gland and lymph nodes of the neck, thyroid scintigraphy. This will allow your doctor to assess how effective radioiodine therapy will be and how well you will tolerate it. In addition, the doctor will calculate the dosage of the drug you need.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>Radioiodine therapy with I-131<\/strong> includes oral administration of the drug. You will take 1 to 4 radioactive iodine capsules or drink about a teaspoon of liquid with radioactive iodine. You will take the drug in your ward, without visiting the manipulation room or operating room.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>After taking radioactive iodine<\/strong>, you will stay in your ward for 24 to 48 hours. The next morning after the procedure, the dosimetrist will determine the amount of radiation in your body. If the amount is low, you will be allowed to leave your ward and will be discharged from the hospital. If the amount is high, then the dosimetric control will continue for another day, until a low amount of radiation in your body is detected.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The isotope I-131 can accumulate not only in the thyroid gland, but also partially in the salivary glands. This can cause dry mouth. To get rid of this side effect, you will dissolve sour candies, as this stimulates the work of salivary glands.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The drug is quickly excreted by the kidneys, and after 48 hours you will no longer pose a danger to others. After the procedure, you should drink at least 1 glass of water per hour and visit the toilet regularly. This will allow you to quickly remove radioactive iodine from the body. Food can be usual, without excess iodine in the diet.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">During these 48 hours, you can read, use a mobile phone, tablet or computer. All these devices will not be a source of radiation in the future.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>Control examination<\/strong> includes scintigraphy, which is performed 7-10 days after radioiodine therapy. Based on the results of the examination, the doctor will determine how well the cells of the thyroid gland (or cancer metastases) have accumulated radioactive iodine. In a few weeks after the procedure, you will have a control blood test for thyroid hormones. In the future, you will visit an endocrinologist regularly.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"program_required_documents mt-4\"><h4>Required documents<\/h4><ul>\n\t<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Medical records<\/li>\n\t<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">MRI\/CT scan (not older than 3 months)<\/li>\n\t<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Biopsy results (if available)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>","program_full_story_crm":"<ul>\n\t<li>Initial presentation in the clinic<\/li>\n\t<li>case history collection<\/li>\n\t<li>general clinical examination<\/li>\n\t<li>laboratory tests:\n\t<ul>\n\t\t<li>complete blood&nbsp;count<\/li>\n\t\t<li>general urine analysis<\/li>\n\t\t<li>biochemical analysis of blood<\/li>\n\t\t<li>TSH-basal, fT3, fT4<\/li>\n\t\t<li>tumor markers (thyroglobulin (TG),<br \/>\n\t\tTG antibodies (TgAb))<\/li>\n\t\t<li>indicators of inflammation<\/li>\n\t\t<li>indicators of blood coagulation<\/li>\n\t<\/ul>\n\t<\/li>\n\t<li>ultrasound scan of the thyroid gland<\/li>\n\t<li>thyroid scintigraphy<\/li>\n\t<li>radioiodine therapy<\/li>\n\t<li>symptomatic treatment<\/li>\n\t<li>cost of essential medicines<\/li>\n\t<li>nursing services<\/li>\n\t<li>stay in the hospital with full board&nbsp;&nbsp;in 2-bed room<\/li>\n\t<li>elaboration of further recommendations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"program_how_program_going mt-4\"><h4>How program is carried out<\/h4><p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>During the first visit<\/strong>, the doctor will conduct a clinical examination and go through the results of the available diagnostic tests.
