A member asked:
Is the amount of thyroud gland removed equal to how much hormone is in the blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: After a partial thyroidectomy, the remaining gland will increase production to take over the function of the entire gland. Partial thyroidectomy is a treatment for hyperthyroidism only if it was caused by a hot nodule that reside in the lobe that was taken but we need to review all the studies that were done.
