Iodine Check (24hr) by i-Screen

24-hour urine iodine test to assess iodine levels and thyroid function.

Additional Information

This test measures the total amount of iodine excreted in urine over 24 hours. Iodine is a crucial cofactor for thyroid hormone production, impacting metabolism and overall health. Low iodine can lead to hypothyroidism. This test helps determine iodine sufficiency and aids in diagnosing or managing thyroid conditions. It's beneficial for individuals experiencing thyroid symptoms or those wanting to assess their iodine intake.

Biomarkers Tested (4)

24hr Urine Volume (mL)

Total urine volume collected over 24 hours.

Urine Creatinine (24hr) (mg/dL)

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.

Urine Iodine (µg/L)

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.

Urine Iodine (corrected) (µg/L)

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.
