dc.description.abstractThe incidence of goiter detected during pregnancy and its significance as an indicator of autoimmune thyroid disease after delivery was investigated in a sample of 707 pregnant women (81% in their 2ndtrimester of gestation). Goiter was detected in 106 subjects (15%). Blood T4, T3, TSH, free T4 index (FT4I), antimicrosomal antibodies (AMA) and urinary iodine excretion were measured in these women and in a control group of gravidas without goiter. These measurements were repeated at 1 and 3 months after delivery. Compared with controls during pregnancy, subjects with goiter had lower FT4I values (11.0 2.8 vs 9.0 1.8; p < 0.01) and higher TSH values (2.9 0.6 ?U/ml vs 4.2 2.1 ?U/ml; p < 0.01). In contrast, T4, T3, AMA and urinary iodine excretion values were similar in both groups. In subjects with goiter FT4I values increased over pregnancy levels at 1 month (11.2 2.0; p < 0.05) and 3 months (14.0 3.0; p < 0.05) after delivery; in 29% a biochemical hyperthyroidism (FT4I > 13.5) was detected. During the same period TSH values decreased significantly (1 month: 1.9 0.7 ?U/ml; p < 0.05; 3 months: 2.7 3.0 ?U/ml; p < 0.05). Frequency of positive AMA increased from 8.6% during pregnancy up to 32.1% in the post-delivery period (p < 0.01). In the control group no variation in the FT4I, TSH or AMA were observed after delivery. These results indicate that goiter during pregnancy is common in Chilean gravidas and that it has predictive value for the appearance of autoimmune thyroid disease after delivery.
