Description

Radioactive Iodine (RAI) has been used for diagnosis and treatment of thyroid carcinomas since the 1940’s. Some known side effects include gastritis, radiation thyroiditis, and bone marrow suppression. However, there are minimal reports on radioactive iodine causing drug induced liver injury (DILI) and renal failure.

To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of both hepatic injury and renal failure following RAI treatment.

We describe an 83-year-old female who developed DILI and renal failure after radioactive iodine ablation.
