Article Figures & Data

Figures

  • Fig 1.
    Fig 1.

    Radioactive iodine uptake scan showing very low thyroid uptake. Thryoid uptake here is 0.5% (a normal range would be 5–35%). Low RAI uptake and hyperthyroidism were indicative of Li-induced ‘destructive thyroiditis’. Li = lithium; RAI = radioactive iodine.

    Fig 2.

    Abdominal CT scans showing bilateral dilated pelvicalyceal systems and hydroureters. Abdominal CT scans show dilated pelvicalyceal systems (a) and hydroureters (b) bilaterally. These are non-obstructive and occur due to large volume of renal and ureteric urine flow. CT = computed tomography.
