Thyroid Diseases During Pregnancy. Pregnancy is associated with various changes in thyroid metabolism: increase in thyroxin binding globulin, decrease of TSH, increase of total thyroxin concentration as well as of iodine requirements. Here we provide an overview about pregnancyassociated thyroid diseases with focus on the risks for mother and child as well as current recommendations for diagnos...

BACKGROUND The study aimed to investigate the clinical value of velocity vector imaging (VVI) in assessing heart function in fetuses of pregnant women with thyroid dysfunction. The inter-observer and intra-observer variability was assessed for all VVI parameters observed. MATERIAL AND METHODS The participants were enrolled from singleton pregnant women with gestational ages ranging 24+0 to 40...

The most common thyroid diseases during pregnancy are hyper- and hypothyroidism and their variants including isolated hypothyroxinemia (hypo-T4), autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and different types of goiter. AITD represents the main cause of hypothyroidism during pregnancy ranging in prevalence between 5 and 20% with an average of 7.8%. The incidence of isolated hypo-T4 is about 150 times hi...

During pregnancy specific changes in thyroid physiology occur, resulting in such consequences as different course of thyroid disorders and difficulties in diagnostics of thyroid disorders. Pregnancy is characterized by the increased formation of thyroid hormones. This is associated with the substantial increase in the requirements for dietary iodine – according to current recommendations to 250...

BACKGROUND Luteal activity is dependent on the interaction of various growth factors, cytokines and hormones, including the thyroid hormones, being that hypo- and hyperthyroidism alter the gestational period and are also a cause of miscarriage and stillbirth. Because of that, we evaluated the proliferation, apoptosis and expression of angiogenic factors and COX-2 in the corpus luteum of hypo- a...
