Iodine excess in children with kidney disease: are we missing hypothyroidism?

Author: Lesley Rees

Published in: Pediatric Nephrology | Issue 7/2019

Excerpt

Cohen et al. [1] report on iodine toxicity and hypothyroidism following micturating cystourethrography (MCUG) in two infants with CKD stage 5. The authors postulate that iodine in the contrast medium instilled into the bladder is absorbed and causes hypothyroidism. This is a very important observation, particularly in infants because of the role of thyroid hormones in cognitive development. …
