Abstract

Thyroid disease represents a risk of obstetric morbidity to the course of pregnancies; affects fetal development and the results in the postnatal period. However actual guidelines do not approve universal screening. This article reviews the available information about thyroid disease and its relationship with adverse perinatal and obstetrics results. Actual findings show that hyprthyroidism does not represent a point of discussion about diagnosis and management. On the other hand, hypothyroidism affects 3-5% of pregnancies aproximally and the subclinical type represents 80% of them, being today the key element of controversy, due to the possibility that there is a group of subclinical patients that will act as clinical hypothyroidism and for whom it is necessary and adjustment to current guidelines and diagnostic criteria.
