  Background: Although it is well-known that thyroid stimulating antibody levels usually increase after radioactive iodine therapy, we observed various changes in thyroid stimulating antibody levels. Methods: We divided 47 patients who underwent radioactive iodine therapy into two groups based on thyroid stimulating antibody levels three months post-therapy, as follows: the D(3M) group with increasing levels and the I(3M) group with decreasing levels of the antibody. We compared the clinical characteristics of the two groups. In addition, the 47 patients were again divided into the following two groups, and their clinical characteristics were compared: the D(6M) and I(6M) groups, which consisted of patients with decreasing and increasing thyroid stimulating antibody levels, respectively, three to six months after radioactive io..
