Wang Lan-xian

Abstract

Objective To evaluate hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism on the pregnancy and its outcome,we study the positive rate of TPOAb during pregnancy.Methods With high-sensitive chemical irradiance assay(CIA) technique,we analyzed the concentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),free triiodo-thyroxine(FT3),free thyroxine(FT4) and TPOAb in 149 pregnant women who visited and delivered in the First Hospital of Shanxi Province from March 2008 to December 2008.Results The positive rate of TPOAb in hypothyroidism group is significantly higher than that of subclinical hypothyroidism group as well as the patients with a past history of thyroid disease to those without it(P0.01).Conclusion The positive rate of TPOAb is closely related to the change of thyroid function and it is very important to have a test during pregnancy.
