Effects of iodine contrast media on thyroid function - a prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

When exposed to iodine contrast medium (ICM), thyroid dysfunction may develop, due to excess amounts of iodide. The incidence of contrast-induced thyroid dysfunction has been difficult to interpret, because of the observational and retrospective designs of most previous studies. With the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS), where randomly selected individuals aged 50-65 years, underwent contrast-enhanced coronary CT angiography (CCTA), we were able to prospectively assess the incidence, magnitude and clinical impact of contrast-induced thyroid dysfunction.

Methods

In 422 individuals, thyroid hormone levels were analysed before and 4-12 weeks after CCTA. Thyroid-related patient-reported outcome questionnaires (ThyPRO) at the time of pre and post-CCTA bl
