What does a low result mean?

A modest reading (50 to 99 µg/L) is very common with low seafood, fish, or iodized salt usage.

What does a high result mean?

An elevated number frequently follows a seafood dinner, seaweed snacks, or topical povidone-iodine use.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Does my current diet comfortably supply enough natural iodine for my thyroid?
  • Would switching to iodized table salt be beneficial?
  • Is a follow-up assessment indicated?
