Prévention des désordres thyroïdiens au cours de la grossesse

In order to prevent maternal and fetal complications and ameliorate the pronostic of thyroid disorders in pregnant women, the prevention should be: a systematic prophylaxis of iodine deficiency in pregnant women; an adjustment of the preconception levothyroxine treatment in women with hypothyroidism diagnosed before the pregnancy; a targeted screening for maternal hypothyroidism in high-risk women; a rational measurement for TSH-receptor and anti-thyroperoxydase antibodies in some women with autoimmune thyroid diseases.
