What is Iodine total and Creatinine Ratio, Random Urine?

This urine test measures the total iodine and creatinine levels from a single, random urine sample. It provides a quick snapshot of your recent iodine intake and is often used for screening or population-level assessments.

Why is this test important?

While a random sample provides a less comprehensive picture than a 24-hour collection, it's useful for quick screening of iodine status. It helps identify potential iodine deficiencies or excesses, guiding further investigation or dietary adjustments.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required, other than providing a random urine sample.
