Background:
International guidelines recommend using local trimester-specific normative data for TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone). However, there are no unified Indian data for the same.
Material And Methods:
This review collates recently published data from various Indian centres and discusses the state of trimester-specific TSH ranges in the country.
Results:
The authors describe the strengths and limitations of available data, and support the need for pan-India data.
Conclusion:
To ensure effective screening and action, harmonized research is necessary to establish national normative data for TSH in India.
