“…Radioiodine uptake (RAIU) is usually low in type 1 AIT, but can also be normal or raised because of avid uptake by autonomous thyroid tissue. Conversely, it is very low or suppressed in type 2 AIT because of destruction or damage of thyroid tissue [26].…”

“…tively frequent thyroid dysfunction [26]. Although most patients are euthyroid during AMIO treatment, about 15-20% develop thyroid dysfunction, ranging from asymptomatic laboratory test abnormalities to overt disease, either AMIO-induced hypothyroidism (AIH) or AMIO-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) [27].…”

“…Type 1 AIT occurs in patients with an underlying thyroid pathology such as autonomous nodular goiter or Graves' disease. In these patients, there is accelerated thyroid hormone synthesis secondary to the iodide load from the amiodarone therapy (the Jod-Basedow phenomenon) (11). In type 2 AIT, the thyrotoxicosis is a destructive thyroiditis that results in excess release of preformed T4 and T3 into the circulation (11).…”

“…In these patients, there is accelerated thyroid hormone synthesis secondary to the iodide load from the amiodarone therapy (the Jod-Basedow phenomenon) (11). In type 2 AIT, the thyrotoxicosis is a destructive thyroiditis that results in excess release of preformed T4 and T3 into the circulation (11). It typically occurs in patients without underlying thyroid disease, and is caused by a direct toxic effect of amiodarone on thyroid follicular cells.…”
