About the Iodine Urine Test, 24-Hour
The 24-hour iodine urine test measures how much iodine is excreted in urine over a full day, which reflects recent iodine intake and overall iodine status. Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, and both too little and too much can affect the thyroid. The test is used to assess dietary iodine sufficiency, investigate possible deficiency or excess, and support thyroid-related evaluation. Because intake varies day to day, a complete 24-hour collection gives a more representative picture than a single spot sample.
Who this test may be right for
- People with suspected iodine deficiency or excess
- Individuals with thyroid concerns being evaluated
- People following restricted or unusual diets
- Patients whose provider is assessing iodine status during pregnancy
What this test measures
- Iodine (24-Hour Urine) Measures total iodine excreted over 24 hours as an indicator of iodine intake and status.
Before your visit
- Collect all urine over a full 24-hour period as instructed
- Discard the first morning void, then collect every void through the next morning
- Store the container as directed, often refrigerated
- Avoid iodine-rich foods, supplements, and contrast dye before collection if instructed
Understanding your results
A low 24-hour iodine excretion suggests low iodine intake, while a high level suggests excess intake. Both can affect thyroid function, but results are interpreted with your diet, supplements, and thyroid tests. Because iodine intake varies, a single measurement may not reflect long-term status. Discuss your iodine result and what it may mean for your thyroid health with a healthcare provider.
