[Urine iodine excretion by healthy pregnant women after vitamin and microelement supplementation (Materna) in the first trimester].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was the assessment of iodine turnover in healthy pregnant women supplemented by microelement and vitamin preparation Materna.


METHODS
To assess iodine supplementation, a modified PAAM method was used for measurement of iodine concentration in morning urine.


METHODS
50 pregnant healthy women were tested for Materna supplementation. Urine iodine concentration was measured starting from the I trimester of pregnancy and then after 1, 2 and 3 months of Materna administration.


RESULTS
It has been found, that 3 months of supplementation with Materna reduces iodine deficiency in 83% of primiparas, while in the same time urine iodine concentration was normal in only 30% of women in their third and next pregnancy.


CONCLUSIONS
In our opinion iodine urine concentration should be assessed in all multiparas using Materna after 1 month of supplementation in order to correct individual iodine supplementation doses.
