description Hyperthyroidism has become the most commonly diagnosed endocrine disorder in cats. The recommended treatment of choice in the literature is administration of radioactive iodine. This treatment has been available at a few veterinary clinics in Sweden since 1999. Forty-six cats treated with a standard dose (80 MBq) of radioactive iodine (131I) at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in the period 2000-2004 were followed for a median of 13 months (range 3-42 months) by means of a retrospective cohort study design. Tables predicting time of survival after treatment were made. At final follow-up thirty-nine cats (85%) were euthyroid, six cats (13%) remained hyperthyroid and one cat (2%) was hypothyroid. The seven cats which were hyperthyroid at the six-weeks follow-up had significantly higher serum thyroxin values before treatment than the cats that became euthyroid (p=0,015). Seventy-five per cent of the cats (median age 13 years) are estimated to survive 13 months posttreatment, which is comparable to other similar studies. Possible improvements of the handling of these cases such as the calculation of acquired dose of radioactive iodine is discussed in this article.

Hypertyreoidism är numera ansedd som kattens vanligaste endokrina rubbning. Behandling med radioaktivt jod har funnits tillgänglig på ett fåtal kliniker i Sverige sedan 1999. Samtliga katter behandlade vid SLU från november 2000 - april 2004 följdes i en retrospektiv kohortstudie avseende tillfrisknande och överlevnad genom journalstudier och djurägarintervjuer. Vid slutlig uppföljning 3-42 månader efter behandling hade 85 % av katterna återfått normal tyreoideafunktion och 75% förväntades överleva mer än ett år efter behandling. De sju katter som vid katter som vid kontroll ej tillfrisknat hade signifikant högre (p=0,015) högre T4-värden före behandling än de 39 vars behandling lyckats.
