Abstract:
Thyroid function abnormalities during pregnancy can affect up to 10% of all women. The mother's thyroid dysfunctions have an influence on fetal development, not only iodine deficiency, but also hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and immunological disorders or inappropriate production of hCG. This review focuses on all thyroid dysfunctions during pregnancy.
