Subclinical hypothyroidism: Identification and treatment in pregnancy
نویسنده
چکیده
Thyroid disorders are the commonly detected endocrinopathies during pregnancy. It seems that prevalence of hypothyroidism is more in Asian countries compared with the West [1,2]. The majority of cases of hypothyroidism are considered to be subclinical type. In west, the prevalence of hypothyroidism is estimated to be 2-3% and 0.3-0.5% for subclinical and overt hypothyroidism respectively [2-4]. In India, the prevalence ranges from 4.8% to 11% [5,6]. Although clinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy is clearly associated with adverse fetal outcome, screening and treating subclinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy are subjects of on-going debate.
