Abstract
The conflicting findings of previous investigators as to what actually constitutes a normal iodine concentration in the blood and the various opinions regarding pathological iodine led us to study the iodine in diabetic patients, those suffering from thyroid disease, and of a number of pathological cases not directly associated with the endocrine system. Diabetic cases were considered because of the close similarity of this disease, experimentally and clinically, to hyperthyroidism.The results of iodine estimation on 101 pathological bloods are presented as estimated by the author's method1. The investigation includes determinations on 13 diabetic in patients, 54 diabetic out patients, 15 hyperthyroid cases, 4 hypothyroid cases, and 15 miscellaneous cases. Of the diabetic in patients 46.1% are within the normal range, averaging 10.7 γ %, 23.1% are subnormal, averaging 7.5 γ %, and 30.8% are above normal, with an average of 29.2 γ %.
