Thyroid hormones act as the master fuel injectors for your body's cells, directly determining how quickly your organs use energy. When the thyroid releases these chemical messengers, they control vital daily functions from your resting heart rate to how quickly you burn calories.

Here is a highly educational break down on the distinct roles of these primary hormones.

𝗥𝗔𝗜 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆: 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝗮 𝗧𝗵𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

Ang Radioactive Iodine Therapy o RAI Therapy ay isang Nuclear Medicine treatment na maaaring irekomenda para sa piling pasyente na may thyroid cancer o hyperthyroidism.

Gumagamit ito ng espesyal na iodine na mas kinukuha ng thyroid cells, kaya mas targeted ang treatment kapag ito ay angkop para sa kondisyon ng pasyente.

Bago sumailalim sa RAI Therapy, mahalagang dumaan sa tamang proseso:

• 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Sinusuri muna ang diagnosis, blood tests, imaging, medical history, at iba pang detalye upang malaman kung ang RAI Therapy ay angkop.

• 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Maaaring kailanganin ang low iodine diet, medication adjustment, at iba pang paghahanda bago ang treatment, depende sa payo ng doktor.

• 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆: Karaniwang iniinom ang RAI bilang capsule o liquid. Mabilis lang ang mismong treatment, ngunit mahalagang sundin ang instructions pagkatapos nito.

• 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆: Sa mga unang araw pagkatapos ng RAI, kailangang sundin ang payo tungkol sa distansya, hygiene, sleeping arrangements, at pag-iwas muna sa close contact, lalo na sa bata, buntis, at sanggol.

• 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝘂𝗽: Kailangan ang regular na blood tests at follow-up upang makita ang response sa treatment at mamonitor ang thyroid levels.

Ang RAI Therapy ay hindi dapat katakutan kapag ito ay naipapaliwanag nang maayos at ginagabayan ng tamang espesyalista.

You may consult Doc Steph for:
• Thyroid concerns and abnormal lab results
• Thyroid cancer monitoring and RAI therapy guidance
• Bone density concerns and DXA interpretation
• Nuclear Medicine scan interpretation
