To explore main cause and health impact of iodine excess during pregnancy, we performed iodine evaluation for 390 consecutive pregnant women from January 1st, 2016 to December 31st, 2016. Among them, 18 women (4.62%) with apparently elevated urinary iodine concentration (UIC) were enrolled onto this study for subsequent follow-up. History of high iodine exposure was collected from all participants. Parameters about iodine status were monitors until termination of pregnancy, and dietary iodine intake condition and thyroid function were also evaluated.
