Description
Iodine is a vital element that is part of thyroid hormones. Testing iodine levels in blood serum can be used as an indicator of adequate intake or iodine overload in the body, especially when using iodine-containing medications. Excess iodine, like its deficiency, can be dangerous to health. In high concentrations, iodine exhibits toxicity, leads to thyroid pathology, skin and respiratory tract lesions, feelings of fatigue, weakness, depression, and has a teratogenic effect on the fetus.
