Abstract
This study confirms a prominent transient early increase in Tg post-RAI ablation in DTC patients with complete resection, with the Tg levels falling below baseline by 6 months. This is presumed to reflect RAI-induced thyroid tissue destruction/inflammation with subsequent release of Tg from the thyroid remnant. Recognizing this transient phenomenon is important for post-ablation Tg interpretation and patient management.
