Abstract

Surgical resection followed by radioactive iodine (131I) therapy constitutes a standard treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer. 131I is normally excreted through the kidneys, and treatment of patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis requires special attention to the dose of 131I, the timing of dialysis, and radiation safety. We present a case of end-stage renal disease in a postthyroidectomy patient on hemodialysis who required radioactive iodine ablation, and we review the literature.

Keywords: ESRD; radioiodine therapy; thyroid cancer.
