Hyperthyroid: That's a good one. It showed that you are hyperthyroid. A small dose of radioactive iodine will kill this quickly. Talk to your doctor about your other choices as well. Good luck.

Hyperthyroidism: Increased iodine uptake usually is secondary to hyperthyroidism which is an increased function of the thyroid, accompanied by decreased TSH and increased thyroid hormones (t3 (liothyronine) or t4) blood levels. It can be related to graves disease, hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules of thydoiditis. Hyperthyroidism can be easily treated. You must be seen by your physician.

Hyperthyroidism: Your values of thyroid uptake are increased indicative of probable graves disease or hyperthyroidism especially if scan showed homogeneous enlarged thyroid.Sometimes oral medication is used to control hyperthyroidism.Sometimes medical therapy does not maintain control of disease. Some people have radioactive ablation of thyroid with i131which destroys gland, patient takes daily hormone supplements.
