What is Iodine?
This blood test measures the level of iodine in your body. Iodine is a vital mineral that your thyroid gland uses to produce hormones essential for metabolism, growth, and development.
Why is this test important?
Assessing iodine levels helps identify deficiencies or excesses that can impact thyroid function. Imbalances can lead to conditions like hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or goiter, affecting overall health and energy levels.
How to Prepare
You may be asked to avoid iodine-rich foods or supplements for a period before the test. Consult your doctor for specific instructions.
