When measuring iodine levels in urine to assess iodine status, the total amount of urine produced in 24 hours can affect the results, because more urine means more iodine is excreted, even if iodine...

Similar Assertions

When healthy adolescents and adult women drink more fluids and produce more urine, their bodies excrete more iodine through urine, even when their diet stays the same.

83%

People who drink more fluids tend to excrete more iodine in their urine, even when their dietary iodine intake from foods like salt, milk, and fish is accounted for. This suggests that how much fluid a person consumes affects how their kidneys remove iodine from the body.

75%

In adolescent girls, each extra liter of urine produced is linked to a greater amount of iodine being removed from the body compared to adolescent boys, suggesting that kidneys process iodine differently between the sexes.
