Is there a relationship between the urinary iodine of pregnant and diabetic patients?
Objectives: We investigated the iodine status in this study in pregnant women, diabetic women–men, and nondiabetic men–women living in our region. Methods: A total of 385 cases who applied to the endocrine clinic between 2015 and 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. The gender, age, free T3 (pg/ml),...

We investigated the iodine status in this study in pregnant women, diabetic women–men, and nondiabetic men–women living in our region.
Methods:
A total of 385 cases who applied to the endocrine clinic between 2015 and 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. The gender, age, free T3 (pg/ml), free T4 (ng/dl), TSH (μIU/mL), anti-TPO antibody (IU/ml), anti-thyroglobulin antibody (IU/ml), and random urine iodine concentration (μg/L) levels of cases were recorded. The cases were grouped as pregnant, female, male, diabetic female, and diabetic male. Cases with overt thyroid disease, heart failure, liver failure, and kidney failure were excluded.
Results:
There were 6.75% (n = 26) pregnant, 54.8% (n = 211) nondiabetic female patients, 18.9% (n = 73) diabetic female patients, 12.7% (n = 49) nondiabetic male, and 4.15% (n = 16) diabetic male patients. The random urinary iodine level was significantly higher in nondiabetic women (112.9 ± 77.21) and diabetic women (140.7 ± 97.8) than in pregnant women (77.8 ± 31.8) (P = 0.00 and P = 0.03). There was no significant relationship between random urine levels of pregnant women and nondiabetic men (104.1 ± 82.6) (P = 0.16). The random urinary iodine level was significantly higher in diabetic men (170.0 ± 112.1) than in pregnant women (P = 0.00).
Conclusions:
In our region (xxx Region), pregnant women had iodine deficiency. The iodine level in men and women was very close to the lower limit. The urinary iodine level was higher in diabetic women and diabetic men than in both pregnant women and nondiabetic women and nondiabetic men. The results brought us the question: Could the high spot urinary iodine level in diabetic patients be a clue to nephropathy? |
