 Trial Title: 
 Effects of Thyroid Hormone Withdrawal on Metabolic Parameters During Radioactive Iodine Therapy in Thyroid Cancer 
 NCT ID: 
 NCT01744769 
 Condition: 
 Hypothyroidism

 Hypothyroidism after levothyroxine withdrawal 
 Study type: 
 Observational 
 Overall status: 
 Unknown status 
 Study design: 
 Time perspective: 
 Prospective 
 Summary: 
 1. The incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer is increasing in Korea. A significant
     number of them experience severe hypothyroidism in preparation for radioactive
     iodine (RAI) therapy after total thyroidectomy.
  2. Because the function of thyroid hormone is closely linked with lipid and glucose
     metabolism, overt hypothyroidism after thyroid hormone withdrawal during RAI therapy
     may induce the changes of metabolic parameters.
  3. We investigate the effects of thyroid hormone withdrawal on metabolic and
     cardiovascular parameters during radioactive iodine therapy in differentiated
     thyroid cancer. 
 Detailed description: 
 1. Study design measurement of various parameters during hypothyroid state (before 1
     month, the day and after 1 month of RAI therapy)
  2. Measurements
       1. Measurement of metabolic and cardiovascular parameters
            -  glucose profiles : HbA1c, fasting glucose level
            -  lipid profiles : free fatty acid, total, LDL-, HDL-, cholesterol,
               triglyceride
            -  adipocytokines : retinol binding protein(RBP)
            -  4, leptin, resistin, adiponectin
            -  markers of endothelial and cardiac function : high-sensitivity C-reactive
               protein(hsCRP), homocystein, B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP)
            -  bone turnover markers : CTX, bone ALP
       2. Scoring of symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism (Zulewski score)
            -  symptoms
            -  physical signs
