A 52-year-old male asked:
Is the thyroid uptake test definitive in identifying grave's disease?

Suggestive: The uptake scan would show a certain pattern that is suggestive of graves disease. In addition, certain antibodies are found in your blood with graves disease. The antibody is called tsi (thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin).
