What is the RAIU (Radioactive Iodine Uptake) in:
1. Subacute Thyroiditis
A. Increased
B. Decreased
C. Normal
2. Surreptitious/Exogenous Thyroid Hormone administration
A. Increased
B. Decreased
C. Normal
In both subacute thyroiditis and surreptitious thyroid hormone administration, the T4 and T3 will be increased and the TSH will be decreased. SO HOW CAN WE TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO CONDITIONS????
