Diabetes and thyroid disease during pregnancy.

N G Soler, H Nicholson

    Obstetrics and Gynecology
    |September 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Hypothyroidism complicates diabetic pregnancies, particularly severe diabetes, leading to risks like premature labor. Early diagnosis is crucial for better outcomes in these high-risk pregnancies.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Diabetology

    Background:

    • Diabetic pregnancies require careful monitoring due to potential complications.
    • Thyroid dysfunction, including hypothyroidism, can coexist with diabetes mellitus.
    • The interplay between diabetes and hypothyroidism in pregnancy is not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence of thyroid disorders in diabetic pregnancies.
    • To examine the association between hypothyroidism and specific classes of diabetic pregnancies.
    • To identify clinical features and outcomes of diabetic pregnancies complicated by hypothyroidism.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of 100 consecutive diabetic pregnancies.
    • Clinical data collection on maternal thyroid status and pregnancy complications.
    • Classification of diabetes severity (White's classification).

    Main Results:

    • One case of hyperthyroidism and four cases of hypothyroidism were observed.
    • Hypothyroidism was noted in 20% of White's class D and F diabetic pregnancies.
    • Features included hydramnios and spontaneous premature labor; one fetus had fatal malformations, while others, including one with severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), survived.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypothyroidism is a significant comorbidity in diabetic pregnancies, especially with advanced diabetes.
    • Compensated hypothyroidism may present with hydramnios and/or premature labor.
    • Timely diagnosis and management of hypothyroidism are essential to improve fetal and neonatal outcomes.
