SUMMARY
Adjustment of UIC by urinary creatinine concentration can correct for differences in individual hydration status since studies have shown that UI/Creat better reflects the 24-h urinary iodine excretion (24-h UIE) (i.e., a proxy for individual daily iodine intake) and serum iodine concentration than UIC alone. This study, therefore, aimed to explore the usefulness of maternal serum Tg concentration (serum-Tg) as a biomarker of iodine status in pregnancy in settings of population iodine sufficiency (median UIC ≥ 150 µg/L) and mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency (median UIC 50-149 µg . . .
