Iodine (Serum/Plasma)

The Iodine (Serum/Plasma) test is a crucial diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of iodine in the blood - an essential mineral required for the production of thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, growth, and development.

Iodine levels give insight into thyroid health. The thyroid gland absorbs iodine to produce T4 and T3 hormones, to prevent goiters and help the body make protein and use oxygen. 

By analyzing the levels of iodine in the blood, you can assess thyroid function and diagnose conditions such as iodine deficiency or excess.
