The process ofageing is to a large extent due to the damagingconsequence of free radical action (lipid peroxidation,DNA damage, protein oxidation) (Harman, 1956).Convincing evidence for the association ofoxidative/ nitrosative stress and acute and chronicdiseases lies on validated biomarkers of oxidativestress.
The radioactive iodine uptake test, or RAIU test, is a type of scan used in the diagnosis of thyroid problems, particularly hyperthyroidism.he normal uptake is between 15 and 25 percent, but this may be forced down if, in the meantime, the patient has eaten foods high in iodine, such as dairy products and seafood. Low uptake suggests thyroiditis, high uptake suggests Graves' disease, and unevenness in uptake suggests the presence of a nodule.
Best Answer: They tested your thyroid antibodies. Normal range is 0.34 - 5.6. I recently had mine checked and she told me the normal range over the phone, mine was normal at 1.65. 0.01 is low and you do have hypothyroidism. Your doctor should prescribe a medication that will eventually level out your thyroid antibodies to a normal level.
