About this service

The iodine test (Iodine, by HPLC) is used to measure iodine levels in biological samples such as blood or urine. This analysis relies on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), allowing precise determination of iodine content. The test is important for assessing an individual’s nutritional status, especially in areas at risk of iodine deficiency, which can affect thyroid health. It is also used to monitor patients receiving iodine-related treatments, such as radioactive iodine for diagnosing and treating thyroid disorders. The results of this test help doctors make informed decisions regarding treatment and nutrition.

Purpose Test

Measuring iodine levels: Determines the amount of iodine in samples, helping to evaluate an individual’s nutritional status.
Detecting iodine deficiency: Helps identify iodine deficiency, which can negatively affect thyroid function.
Assessing thyroid function: Monitors iodine levels in patients with thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
Monitoring iodine therapy: Used to follow up on patients receiving iodine-based treatments, including radioactive iodine.
Evaluating dietary balance: Helps understand the impact of diet on iodine levels in the body.

Recommended groups

Individuals with thyroid disorder symptoms: Such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
Children showing signs of nutritional deficiency: Especially in areas prone to iodine deficiency.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women: To monitor iodine levels and ensure the health of both mother and child.
Individuals taking iodine supplements: To track iodine levels and prevent exceeding recommended doses.
Patients undergoing radioactive iodine therapy: To monitor iodine levels before and after treatment.
People living in iodine-deficient areas: To assess nutritional status and ensure adequate iodine levels.

Symptoms indicative

Hypothyroidism symptoms: Such as persistent fatigue, weight gain, excessive cold, dry skin, and hair loss.
Hyperthyroidism symptoms: Such as sudden weight loss, increased appetite, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety.
Goiter: Swelling in the neck area may indicate thyroid problems.
Unexplained weight changes: Either unexpected weight gain or loss.
Family history of thyroid problems: If there is a family history of thyroid disorders.
Nutritional deficiency: Signs of nutritional deficiency such as general weakness or growth problems in children.

Normal Levels

Iodine levels in blood: Typically between 40 and 100 µg/L.
Iodine levels in urine: Usually range from 100 to 300 µg/L and may vary based on dietary iodine intake.
