Subclinical thyroid disease is a biochemical diagnosis and is common during pregnancy. Because of the physiological hormonal changes that take place during pregnancy and the absence of normal ranges for thyroid hormones during this period, subclinical thyroid disease is difficult to interpret during pregnancy. Subclinical hyperthyroidism during pregnancy has few clinical consequences and no tre...

Subclinical thyroid disease is defined biochemically by an abnormal thyrotropin (TSH) level and normal serum-free thyroxine level. The prevalence of this condition varies according to the reference range for TSH and geographic or demographic factors. Recently, several studies, including our community-based cohort studies, have reported on the incidence of subclinical thyroid disease in Korea. U...

in order to examine the prevalence of thyroid disease in a hospital outpatient setting, in an area of sufficient iodine intake, serum levels of tsh, t4, t3, anti-tg and anti-tpo antibodies were examined in 909 individuals with an age range of 12.4 to 88.5 years, participating in a checkup outpatient setting. the study was conducted in henry dynant hospital located in the metropolitan area of at...

BACKGROUND Subclinical thyroid dysfunction is common among older people and has been associated with decreased functional capacity but with conflicting data. The aim of this study was to assess the association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and functional capacity in an elderly population. METHODS We included 5182 participants with a mean age of 75.2 years from the Prospective Study ...

background :subclinical hypothyroidism may adversely affect in vitro fertilization (ivf) outcomes. however the cutoff of thyroid-stimulating hormone (tsh) for diagnosis and treatment is controversal. the aim of this study was to find the association of clinical pregnancy rate with regard to tsh levels in women undergoing ivf.   methods: a historical cohort study of 816 infertile patients who un...

OBJECTIVE To assess the iodine nutritional status and investigate the prevalence of thyroid diseases in a community population in Chengdu, China. METHODS Eighty school-age children were randomly selected for measurements of urinary iodine concentration. A total of 1500 residents over the age of 18 who had lived in Chengdu for more than 5 years were selected by stratified cluster sampling. Ser...

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common disorders encountered in an endocrine office practice. This article reviews the epidemiology, etiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of hypothyroidism. We emphasize some of the more recent issues, such as combination thyroid hormone therapy, management of hypothyroidism during pregnancy, and the management of subclinical hypothyroidism.

Background: Hypothyroidism is associated with a wide spectrum of reproductive disorders ranging from abnormal sexual development, menstrual irregularities, and infertility. The present study was conducted to assess thyroid in age group.Materials Methods: 84 women group 15-45 years were divided patients into 2 groups 42 each. Group I II other than disorders. Parameters such as parity, menarche, ...

Laboratory indices of thyroid function (TSH, Free T4, and T3) were measured in a randomized clinical trial in which Ashwagandha (ASW) was used to improve cognitive function in patients with bipolar disorder. This was done in light of a case-report of ASW-associated thyrotoxicosis, and data from mice administered ASW that showed significant increases in thyroxine levels. Ten (of the original 60)...
