Résumé :

To compare different possibilities of reporting the iodine supply in the same urine samples. Indeed, in field studies, urinary iodine concentration (I/L: micro g I/L, micro mol I/L, I/creatinine: micro g I/g creatanine, micro mol I/mol creatinine) is more readily available than excretion (I/24h micro g I/24 h, micro mol I/24h). However, confusion exists regarding the comparability of iodine supply based upon I/L, I/creatinine and I/24h, which for decades have been regarded as biochemically equivalent.
