    Also, the study you initially cited stated that TRAb declined in the blood regardless of treatment method.

    Hi Bobbi – Yes, over time, the antibody levels declined with all three treatment options. However, RAI was the only treatment option with a spike in antibody levels post-treatment. The peak occurred at about 6 months, and TRAb levels returned back to where they started before treatment at about 12 months. Then from that point, they start to decline.
