What are normal thyroid uptake test results?

Normal thyroid uptake test results typically show that the thyroid gland absorbs a certain percentage of a radioactive iodine dose within a specified time frame, often at 24 hours. Generally, a normal range for thyroid uptake is between 10% to 30% at 24 hours, though this can vary based on the specific protocol and patient factors. Results outside this range may indicate conditions such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Always consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of test results in the context of individual health.
