@pegpal Using a multivitamin with iodine is not necessarily a problem, but for those of us with chronic kidney disease [CKD], we need to watch how much iodine we ingest. For those of us with an eGFR less than 30, contrast dyes are a big risk, as those same dyes need to clear through the kidneys, and can be a problem. We often need to make sure our treating medical professionals understand this, and we really it to them.
The original poster was explaining they have only one kidney. Therefore, they need to protect that kidney even more, and be more cautious about what they ingest. Does this answer your question?
