Sodium Iodide-131 is administrated for treatment of hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer. Iodine-131 has multiple routs of excretion (Urine, saliva, sweat, milk, feces, exhalation) from the body. Patients receiving Sodium Iodide-131 therapy exposes other persons and the environment to unwanted radiation and contamination. The major source of radiation dose from administration of Iodine-131 ...

BACKGROUND Since seaweed is a common component of the Japanese diet, iodine intake in Japanese is expected to be high. However, urinary iodine excretion, measured using 24-hour urine samples, and its dietary determinants are not known. METHODS Apparently healthy adults aged 20 to 69 years living in 20 areas throughout Japan were recruited in February and March, 2013. Urinary iodine excretion ...

  Iodine deficiency remains a major health problem in the world, including some parts of Iran. It has been recognized that there is usually a close and inverse relationship between iodine in the soil and water and presence of endemic goiter. Calcium has been suggested as one of goitrogens, though the definite role, extent and mechanism particularly in human have not been studied. Serum protein-...

In order to assess the Japanese dietary iodine intake, we examined the urinary iodine excretion of those on an ordinary Japanese diet chosen at random and observed whether the thyroid function might affect the amounts of urinary iodine excretion. The subjects consisted of cases of untreated hypothyroidism and chronic thyroiditis (CT) and euthyroid controls who were healthy people or had non-thy...

The objective of this study was to determine iodine nutrition status and whether iodine status differs across salt intake levels among a sample of women aged 18-45 years living in Samoa. A cross-sectional survey was completed and 24-hr urine samples were collected and assessed for iodine (n=152) and salt excretion (n=119). The median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) among the women was 88 μg/...

Iodine deficiency is still common in some European countries. In Denmark an iodine fortification programme was introduced in 1998 and a monitoring programme was established prior to iodization. This study reports the change in urinary iodine excretion caused by fortification and investigates determinants of iodine intake after fortification. Iodine excretion in casual urine samples was assessed...

background: the aim of the study was to evaluate the third trimester urinary iodine excretion and to assess its relation with newborns thyroid function. materials and methods: a total  of  208 healthy third trimester pregnant women without previous history of thyroid disease were included in the study. urinary iodine levels of mothers were measured and neonatal tsh levels were screened on the 3...
