Bennie has hyperthyroidism due to Grave's disease.What is his likely course of treatment?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The standard treatment for hyperthyroidism due to Grave's disease is the use of antithyroid agents to control symptoms followed by treatment with radioactive iodine to reduce the size of the thyroid gland and decrease thyroid hormone production. In some cases, surgical removal of the thyroid may be necessary if other treatments are not effective, but this is usually reserved for cases where the patient cannot tolerate antithyroid agents or radioactive iodine. Therefore, options B and C are unlikely to be the best course of treatment. Option D is also incorrect since surgery is usually not the first line of treatment for hyperthyroidism.
