Thyroid disease in pregnancy

J H Mestman. Clin Perinatol. 1985 Oct.

Abstract

The recognition of thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy is important, since, untreated, it may cause maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. In this article, the author reviews the relationship of maternal and fetal-placental thyroid function, the interpretation of thyroid tests during gestation, and the management of common thyroid problems that may complicate pregnancy.
