Abstract
TSH trimester specific reference ranges in UAE national pregnant women are higher than those recommended by ATA in 2011 but in keeping with the latest guidelines published in 2017. This should be considered while interpreting thyroid function tests in this population. Further studies including urinary iodine measurement, body mass index and larger numbers per partition in this population are recommended.
