Iodine Check (24hr)

Total urine volume collected over 24 hours.

Creatinine is a waste product from muscle use and meat digestion. Healthy kidneys remove it from blood, excreting it in urine. This helps assess kidney function.

Iodine is an essential trace element and an integral component of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are required for normal growth and development of tissues and maturation of our bodies. Approximately 80% of iodine is excreted in the urine, making it a good marker of the previous day's intake.

Iodine levels can be adjusted for urine dilution using creatinine. This adjustment accounts for differences in urine volume or concentration and allows for a more accurate assessment of iodine status.
