Iodine Check (random) by i-Screen

Random urine iodine test to assess thyroid function.

Additional Information

Iodine is a crucial element for proper thyroid function. This test measures iodine levels in a random urine sample. Low iodine can indicate a deficiency impacting thyroid hormone production. This test helps determine iodine status and may guide supplementation decisions. It's important for individuals concerned about thyroid health or those experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Biomarkers Tested (3)

Creatinine (mg/dL)

Creatinine (Cr) is a waste product from muscle metabolism, filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels can indicate kidney dysfunction.

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.
