The Iodine, Serum/Plasma test measures the level of iodine in the blood, an essential trace mineral required for normal thyroid hormone production. Adequate iodine levels are critical for regulating metabolism, energy levels, growth, and overall endocrine function.
This test is commonly used to evaluate iodine status in individuals with thyroid concerns, dietary insufficiency, or suspected iodine imbalance. Abnormal iodine levels may affect thyroid function and are interpreted alongside thyroid hormone tests such as TSH, T4, and T3 for a more complete assessment.
