About Iodine Urine Test, 24-Hour in Bothell
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, iodized salt, or supplements. Once absorbed, excess iodine is filtered by the kidneys and passed into urine. Collecting urine for a full 24 hours captures this excretion more completely than a single void.
A 24-hour urine collection requires saving every urine sample passed during the collection period, which typically begins after the first morning void is discarded. The samples are pooled and sent to a laboratory, where iodine concentration is measured and total excretion is calculated.
Results are usually interpreted alongside dietary intake, thyroid function tests, and symptoms. Low or high iodine excretion can reflect inadequate intake, excessive supplementation, or a condition affecting iodine absorption or kidney handling. Turnaround is typically 1-3 business days after the laboratory receives the sample.
