in rats with mild renal failure produced by a 2/3 nephrectomy on one side followed by a total nephrectomy on the other , ingestion of a high ( 10 mg/kg ) iodine diet for two months resulted in thyromegaly , high serum iodine levels and a good correlation between thyroid weight and serum iodine ( r = 0.75 , p less than 0.01 ) or thyroid weight and blood urea nitrogen ( r = 0.745 , p less than 0.01 ) .
