Iodine Loading Test?

Hi folks,

A question. Does anyone know of a lab that will do an iodine loading test? The Endo nurse that I saw recently told me that their health authority won't do one, and that I wouldn't be able to find a test kit to do it myself. Full on positive as usual!

Can anyone help here?

Arab, Google "Iodine Loading Test UK". Tests are available in the US but I'm not sure about UK availability. Perhaps worth seeing whether Genova or Blue Horizon do them.

I went looking for one of these quite recently, and I found this one :

I must stress that I have never used this company, and know nothing about their reliability or reputation.

I think I used Genova for a urine iodine test. I think you might be able to do a loading test through them
