dc.description.abstractAim: Thyroid diseases can cause maternal and fetal adversities, and proper diagnosis, follow-up and treatment during pregnancy requires special attention. In the evaluation of thyroid functions during pregnancy, free thyroxine (FT4) is used primarily with thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Our aim is to investigate the prevalence and the effects of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy. Material and Methods: Our study is a prospective study including 960 pregnant women and spanning from November 2017 to May 2019 in Ege University Endocrinology outpatient clinic.100 pregnant women with thyroid dysfunction out of 960 pregnant women were included in the study. Maternal age, gestational trimester, family history of the thyroid disorder, TSH, FT4, free triiodothyronine (FT3), anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (Anti-TPO), anti-thyroglobulin antibody (Anti-TG), thyrotropin (TSH) receptor antibody (TRAb) were collected. The correlations between TSH, FT3 and FT4 were examined. Results: In the study, the mean age of pregnant patients was 29.33 ± 5.97. Anti-TPO was positive %18 and Anti-TG was positive (5%). 24 of 100 (24%) patients had nodules. 1 (8.3%) patient with hyperthyroidism was positive for TRAb. Age differences in patients with or without nodule were not statistically significant. 1 (1%) of the patient had Graves disease, 81 (81%) had subclinical hypothyroidism, 7 (7%) had clinical hypothyroidism, 11 (11%) had gestational thyrotoxicosis. The frequency of prematurity was determined in 7 patients (15.6%) by the data of 45 pregnant women who gave birth. Conclusion: TSH levels in pregnant patients with positivity for anti-TPO and anti-TG were significantly higher than pregnant patients with negativity for anti-TPO and anti-TG. In addition, the relationship between thyroid diseases and nodule frequency, autoimmunity, premature birth in pregnant women were not detected. More comprehensive study series are needed.en_US
