About Iodine Urine Test, 24-Hour in Carson
Iodine is an essential trace element that the thyroid gland uses to produce thyroid hormones.
The body does not make iodine, so it must come from food, beverages, and supplements. The thyroid captures what it needs, and the kidneys clear the remainder into urine.
A 24-hour collection captures iodine excretion across an entire day, which helps account for the natural rise and fall that occurs with meals and hydration. This makes the result more representative of overall intake and absorption.
Results are typically interpreted alongside the clinical picture, because urine iodine reflects recent intake rather than stored reserves. Clinicians use the information to assess whether iodine levels are adequate, low, or excessive.
