Introduction Population median urinary iodine concentration (UIC) is the recommended method to assess iodine status [ 1 ]. UIC in pregnancy is extensively studied and adequate maternal iodine intake is of major concern [ 2 , 3 , 4

, 4 ]. Dietary iodine is almost completely excreted through urine, so urinary iodine concentration (UIC) levels are excellent indicators of recent iodine intake [ 5 ]. According to the criteria of the WHO based upon epidemiological evidence, a daily

Introduction Adequate dietary iodine consumption, as determined by the urinary iodine concentration (UIC), is necessary for a normal thyroid function. During pregnancy, iodine requirements are increased [ 1 ] as a result of both the normal
