Urinary Iodine Test
The Iodine Urine Test evaluates iodine levels in urine, vital for thyroid hormone production, immune function, and breast tissue health. This can provide insights into iodine status and potential health implications.
Tested Biomarkers
- Iodine
The urine iodine test is carried out using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry), an advanced method for measuring trace elements.
This technique uses an extremely high-temperature plasma to break the sample down into individual charged particles (ions). These ions are then separated and measured according to their mass and charge, allowing the laboratory to identify and quantify many different elements at once with exceptional accuracy and sensitivity.
When is this test useful?
You may consider a urine iodine test if you want to understand your iodine status, which is essential for healthy thyroid hormone production, immune function, cognitive and energy support, and breast tissue health. It can help highlight whether low iodine may be contributing to issues such as fatigue, thyroid imbalance, reduced immunity, or risks like goitre or breast changes—providing clear guidance for personalised nutritional and therapeutic support.
