Newsletter: What You Need To Know About The Radioactive Iodine Uptake Test

Many people with hyperthyroidism receive a test called the Radioactive Iodine Uptake test. With this test the patient swallows a small dosage (100-200 microcuries) of radioactive iodine.

The absorption of the radioactive iodine is then evaluated after two hours, six hours, and then again after 24 hours.
