Study on the effect of high calcium intake on serum protein bound iodine and urinary excretion of iodine
Iodine deficiency remains a major health problem in the world, including some parts of Iran. It has been recognized that there is usually a close and inverse relationship between iodine in the soil and water and presence of endemic goiter. Calcium has been suggested as one of goitrogens, though the definite role, extent and mechanism particularly in human have not been studied. Serum protein-...
متن کاملVariations in urinary iodine excretion and thyroid function. A 1-year study in healthy men.
OBJECTIVE The iodine intake level in a population is determined in cross-sectional studies. A fraction of samples with iodine content below a certain level, e.g. 25 microg/l, may suggest iodine deficiency in part of the population. However, urinary iodine varies considerably from day to day and the fraction of low samples caused by dispersion remains unsettled. DESIGN A longitudinal study of ...
متن کاملThe urinary calcium-creatinine ratio as a measure of urinary calcium excretion.
Urine specimens were collected from 26 normal subjects, 10 patients with proven primary hyperparathyroidism, and eight patients with hypercalcaemia due to other causes. After overnight urine concentration, an oral water load was given to induce a diuresis and provide urine specimens with a relatively wide range of creatinine concentration for each subject. In normal subjects the urinary calcium...
متن کاملThe urinary excretion and thyroid uptake of iodine in renal disease.
Radioactive iodine has proved itself a most useful tool in the assessment of thyroid function and since its introduction in 1938 by Hertz, Roberts, and Evans (1) a voluminous literature on this subject has developed, much of which has been well summarized by Skanse (2) in his monograph. Although various workers have noted that there is a delayed excretion of the isotope in renal disease which p...
متن کاملIodine status assessment in Campania (Italy) as determined by urinary iodine excretion.
OBJECTIVE Mild iodine deficiency was first documented in Campania in the 1990s. We assessed the urinary iodine nutritional status of schoolchildren in Campania before the introduction of legislation for salt iodization and compared the findings with previous results to evaluate to what extent "silent" iodine prophylaxis, which accompanies socioeconomic advances, affects iodine status. METHODS...
