Thyroid disorders are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and can lead to spontaneous miscarriages.
One hundred and four women with early pregnancy loss were enrolled in this study and a thyroid profile was done. The thyroid status of women was established on the basis of standard cut-off levels. Prevalence of hypothyroidism (both overt and subclinical) was calculated.
The mean TSH level was 2.3±1.3 IU/l. Twenty-two women had increased TSH level (more than 2.5 IU/l) accounting for 21.15% of total women and the rest 78.84% of women were euthyroid. 15.38% of women presenting with early pregnancy loss were overt hypothyroid and 5.76% of women had subclinical hypothyroidism. The mean TSH level in the hypothyroid group was 4.9±2.1.
Hypothyroidism if untreated can lead to first-trimester abortions. All pregnant women should be screened for thyroid disorders in their first visit and treatment should be started at the earliest.
