Abstract
Thyroid function is critical during pregnancy, as thyroid hormones play a significant role in the development of the fetal brain and nervous system. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) testing is an essential tool in monitoring thyroid function. This case study highlights the importance of TSH testing in women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It discusses the impact of thyroid dysfunction on pregnancy outcomes and underscores the need for routine TSH screening to ensure maternal and fetal health. This case study emphasizes that pregnancy panel labs should highlight the need for altered reference ranges for TSH in women planning to conceive, ensuring results above 2.5 mIU/L are flagged for follow-up and potential treatment. By adjusting the reference ranges and providing timely intervention, better pregnancy outcomes can be achieved, safeguarding both maternal and fetal health.
