The increasing awareness of the importance of the proper maternal thyroid function for fetal development prompted the development of guidelines on thyroid diseases in pregnancy
Summary
The main differences between guidelines published by the Endocrine Society (ES, 2007, revised in 2012), the American Thyroid Association (ATA, 2011) and the Polish Society of Endocrinology (PSE, 2011) are further discussed. Physiological changes in thyroid function during gestation influence test results, making the application of general population thyroid hormones reference values for pregnant women the most controversial.
