Description
Iodine is a vital element that is part of thyroid hormones. This test is intended to assess the balance of this trace element in the body. A wide spectrum of problems—from reproductive disorders to thyroid diseases—is associated with iodine deficiency. A urine study can be more convenient compared to a blood study in pediatric practice. The test is highly sensitive and reacts quickly to changes in the level of iodine consumption.
