Abstract

The course of pregnancy, thyroid status, and hormonal background were studied in 96 women with autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT). It was established that pregnant women have a number of maternal and fetal complications (54.8%); AIT has an adverse effect on the course of pregnancy; a high risk of miscarriage and termination of pregnancy is observed; and the thyroid hormone level is reduced and the TSH level is increased in comparison with that in healthy pregnant women. To prevent gestational complications and prematurity in women with AIT, routine blood TSH testing from early gestation is recommended.
