Managing hypothyroidism during pregnancy requires careful thyroxine adjustment. Close maternal and fetal monitoring is crucial for positive outcomes, minimizing complications and ensuring fetal well-being.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Endocrinology
  • Perinatology

Background:

  • Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder that can complicate pregnancy.
  • Effective management is essential for maternal and fetal health.
  • Thyroxine replacement therapy is standard, but dosage adjustments are often necessary during gestation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate maternal and perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by hypothyroidism.
  • To assess the need for thyroxine dosage adjustments during pregnancy.
  • To identify common maternal complications and perinatal risks.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 26 pregnancies with hypothyroidism managed over 6.5 years.
  • Review of thyroxine replacement therapy and dosage adjustments.

  • Documentation of maternal complications and perinatal outcomes, including mortality.

    • Main Results:

    • Thyroxine dosage required readjustment in 26.9% of pregnancies to maintain euthyroidism.
    • Maternal complications included pregnancy-induced hypertension (26.9%) and anemia (23.0%).
    • Perinatal mortality was 3.9%, with no stillbirths attributed to intensive fetal monitoring and timely interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • Close surveillance and optimized thyroid hormone levels are vital during pregnancy.
    • Intensive fetal monitoring and timely pregnancy termination are key to achieving good perinatal outcomes.
    • Proactive management can mitigate risks associated with hypothyroidism in pregnancy.
