first post with lab results

[Guest guest]

Hello, I am new here and am happy I found this helpful site.I've been learning a lot from the group and thought I'd post my first question.I had some iodine tests done in the past so I thought I'd see what you guys thought about the results. I have hypothyroidism and am a member of the NaturalThyroidHormones group. My symptoms continue even though I take all suggested supplements and am up to 3 grains of ERFA.One thing I don't do is take Iodine. So I thought I would start looking into this. I just ordered some Iodoral and Dr. Browstein's book today.Here are the two tests I've had that I was wondering about. Do they say I am low in Iodine? Doctor's Data 24-Hour Urine Iodine (Loading Test) 08/24/2009Iodine 38 (ref 0.1 - 0.45 mg/24 hr)% Excretion/24 hr 76%(I noticed that my result of 38 is way outside the reference range. No, I didn't miss a decimal point.)Creatinine 1330 (ref 600 - 1900 mg/24hr)Quest Diagnostics 09/16/2010Iodine, random urine 91 (ref 34 - 523 mcg/L)Thank you! G. in Philly
