In dried blood spots from children, the concentration of thyroglobulin correlates with iodine exposure and could be a novel marker for monitoring population iodine status in this age group.4 In 2006, the international reference range of 4–40 μg/l for this assay was developed as a measure that indicates iodine sufficiency in children 5–14 years old.4 This standard has since been adopted and recommended by the WHO, UNICEF and the ICCIDD as a method of assessing iodine nutrition in school-aged children (≥6 years old).2 One study demonstrated that the mean concentration of thyroglobulin in dried blood spots was statistically significantly higher in healthy children aged 6–12 years in whom the median UIC was >300 μg/l than in those with lower UICs.5 These findings suggest that levels of thyroglobulin in dried blood spots could be developed as a sensitive marker of iodine excess in this population.
