The 24-h UIE on day four of the LID did not differ from day seven, and therefore shortening the LID from seven to four days seems justified to prepare DTC patients for 131I therapy in areas with sufficient iodine intake and may be beneficial to maintain a sufficient nutritional intake during DTC treatment.
