Abstract

A low iodine diet (LID) for $1{\sim}2$ weeks is recommended for patients who undergoing radioiodine remnant ablation. However, the LID educations for patients are different among centers because there is no concrete recommendation for protocol of LID. In this investigation, we compared two representative types of LID protocols performed in several centers in Korea using urine iodine to creatinine ratio (urine I/Cr). Methods: From 2006, April to June, patients referred to our center for radioiodine remnant ablation of thyroid cancer from several local hospitals which had different LID protocols were included. We divided into two groups, stringent LID for 1week and less stringent LID for 2 weeks, then measured their urine I/Cr ratio with spot urine when patients were admitted to the hospital. Results: Total 27 patients were included in this investigation (M:F=1:26; 13 in one-week stringent LID; 14 in two-week less stringent LID. Average of urine I/Cr ratio was $127.87{\pm}78.52{\mu}g/g$ in stringent LID for 1 week, and $289.75{\pm}188.24{\mu}g/g$ in less stringent LID for 2 weeks. It was significantly lower in stringent LID for 1 week group (p=0.008). The number of patients whose urine I/Cr ratios were below $100{\mu}g/g$ was 6 of 13 in stringent LID for 1 week group, and 3 of 14 in less stringent LID for 2 weeks group. Conclusion: Stringent LID for 1 week resulted in better urinary I/Cr ratio in our investigation compared with the other protocol. However it still resulted in plenty of inadequate range of I/Cr ratio, so more stringent protocol such as stringent LID for 2 weeks is expected more desirable.

목적: 갑상선암 방사성요오드 치료를 위한 전처치로 1주${\sim}$2주간 저요오드식이를 시행하는 것이 국제 권고안에서 권고되고 있으나 각 병원마다 저요오드식이를 자체적인 교육방법에 따라 시행하고 있으며 저요오드식이를 통해 체내 요오드량을 효과적으로 낮추었는지에 대한 측정도 대부분의 병원에서 시행되지 않고 있어, 연구자들의 병원에 의뢰된 환자들의 소변 내 I/Cr비를 측정하여 고전적인 엄격한 저요오드식 이를 1주일간 시 행하는 방법과 덜 엄격한 저요오드식이를 2주일간 시행하는 방법을 비교하여 그 적절성을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2006년 4월 10일부터 6월 19일까지 본원에 의뢰된 27명의 환자를 대상으로 제한 및 허용식품 목록, 영양사 교육 유무, 예시 식단 유무, 저요오드식이 기간을 비교하여 가장 빈도가 높은 2가지 방법, 즉 관용적인 기준을 채택하는 군과 엄격한 제한식품을 설명한 군으로 나누어 두 군의 아침 소변을 채집, iodide selective electrode method를 사용하여 소변 내 요오드량을 측정하고 이를 소변 내 크레아티닌으로 나누어 I/Cr비를 구하였다. 두 군의 결과는 t-test를 이용하여 검정하였다. 결과: 두 군간의 특성에는 유의한 차이가 없었으며 각 군에서의 소변 내 I/Cr 비는 2주간 덜 엄격한 저요오드식이 군에서 $289.75{\pm}188.24{\mu}g/g$, 1주간 엄격한 저요오드식이를 시행한 군에서는 $127.87{\pm}78.52{\mu}g/g$으로 측정되었으며 1주간 엄격하게 시행한 군에서 유의하게 낮았다 (p=0.008). 2주간 덜 엄격한 저요오드식이를 시행한 군에서는 14명중 3명(21.42%), 1주간 엄격한 저요오드식이를 시행한 군에서는 13명중 6명(46.15%)이 방사성요오드치료를 위한 적정한 수준으로 제시된 소변 내 요오드배설량 $100{\mu}g/g$이하를 만족했다. 결론: 2주간 덜 엄격한 저요오드식이를 시행한 군에서 1주간 엄격한 교육을 시행한 군보다 높은 소변 내 I/Cr비가 나온 것을 볼 때 교육 방법을 엄격하게 시행하지 않고 간단하게 변형된 방법을 사용할 경우 기간을 길게 하더라도 치료에 필요한 적정 수준의 체내 요오드량 감소를 달성하기 어려울 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 1주간 엄격한 저요오드식이를 시행한 군에서도 체내 요오드량의 감소가 충분히 감소하는 비율이 여전히 낮기 때문에 엄격한 저요오드식이 방법을 2주간 시행하는 것이 더바람직하리라 기대된다.
