"Postpartum thyroiditis"

Postpartum Thyroiditis in Women With Euthyroid and Hypothyroid Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Antedating Pregnancy. Postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) is defined as the occurrence of de novo autoimmune thyroid disease accompanied by thyroid dysfunction in the first year postpartum. However, hormonal changes resembling the typical pattern of PPT have been reported to occur even in women with pregestational

Autoimmune Abnormalities of Postpartum Thyroid Diseases The year following parturition is a critical time for the appearance or exacerbation of autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune thyroid disease. The vast majority of postpartum thyroid disease consists of postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) and the minority by Graves' disease and non-autoimmune thyroiditis. PPT has a worldwide prevalence

A Case of Spontaneous Postpartum Thyroid Hemorrhage Leading to Upper Airway Obstruction Spontaneous goiter hemorrhage is a rare entity that can lead to life-threatening respiratory compromise. Goiter hemorrhages are usually due to effects of anticoagulation or neoplastic processes. The hormonal effects of pregnancy may also lead to such life-threatening goiter hemorrhages in the immediate

Clark T. Sawin Historical Vignette: What Do Criminology, Harry Houdini, and King George V Have in Common With Postpartum Thyroid Dysfunction? The history of postpartum thyroid dysfunction (PPTD) dates back almost two millennia, when Soranus of Ephesus, who practiced obstetrics and neonatology, observed swelling in the necks (presumably goiters) of women after pregnancy. The next reference to PPTD

Evaluation of thyroid dysfunction and autoimmunity in gestational diabetes mellitus and its relationship with postpartum thyroiditis. To evaluate thyroid dysfunction and autoimmunity in women with gestational diabetes and to investigate the frequency of postpartum thyroiditis in women with gestational diabetes. A total of 350 women with gestational diabetes and 350 healthy pregnant women were thyroid dysfunction, while of the healthy pregnant women, 6.1% had thyroid dysfunction. The prevalence of postpartum thyroiditis was higher in the women with a history of gestational diabetes (19.6%) than in the healthy pregnant women (10.2%), and this difference was statistically significant. According to the results of the present study, the prevalence of postpartum thyroiditis was higher in women

The Yield of Postnatal Thyroid Function Test in the Well Baby Nursery Thyroid function test are performed in the well baby nursery to newborn infants of mothers with hypothyroidism, or as part of neonatal jaundice investigation. As thyroid function test are also part of the national screening test program, the investigators raised the option that the above management is unnecessary, and managed

Key risk factors include female sex, middle age, family history of autoimmune thyroiditis, autoimmune disorders, treatment for thyroid disease, postnatal thyroiditis

there is only moderate correlation between the degree of biochemical hyperthyroidism and clinical signs and symptoms. When to suspect postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) * The information on the typical timing and duration of PPT is based on the ATA guidelines pregnancy and postpartum [Alexander, 2017] and a review article [Yap, 2023]. * The ATA guidelines note the thyrotoxic phase of PPT typically occurs between 2

* The recommendation to check for compression symptoms is important as the person may require thyroid surgery to relieve symptoms [Biondi, 2018]. * The recommendation to ask about current or recent pregnancy is important, as a history of pregnancy within the past six months may suggest a diagnosis of postpartum thyroiditis. In addition, the risk of relapse of Graves' disease is higher in the postpartum period about a personal or family history of autoimmune disease is important, as this increases the likelihood of Graves' disease, Graves' orbitopathy, and postpartum thyroiditis [Ross, 2016; Alexander, 2017; Bathgate, 2018; BMJ Best Practice, 2024]. The NICE clinical guideline also notes that autoimmune disease is associated with thyroid dysfunction and justifies testing for thyroid disease [NICE, 2023a

, such as Graves' disease. * Arrange referral to an endocrinology specialist if the TFT results are abnormal, the urgency depending on clinical judgement. * Be aware that women with postpartum thyroiditis may present with TFTs showing an initial thyrotoxic pattern. * Arrange TFT monitoring after resolution of the thyrotoxic phase, to screen for the hypothyroid phase, depending on specialist advice. See the CKS topic on Hypothyroidismfor more information on TFT monitoring in postpartum women. * Arrange annual monitoring of TFTs for all women with a history of postpartum thyroiditis which has resolved. * Offer advice on sources of information and support,such as: * The British Thyroid Foundation leafletYour guide to pregnancy and fertility in thyroid disordersmay be helpful.
