Overview
24-hour iodine-123 uptake may be helpful in the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis associated with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (APS). Autoimmune thyroiditis can be seen in any subtype of APS but is more commonly seen in type 3 and type 2. Patients of APS with autoimmune thyroiditis present with decreased uptake of iodine-123, which can help in differentiating hypothyroidism seen in autoimmune thyroiditis from other causes.
