Abstract
The maternal thyroid dysfunction has an adverse impact on both maternal and fetal outcome. Therefore the evaluation of thyroid functioning during first trimester avoids complications both in mother and fetus. Hence the present study was conducted to assess the maternal thyroid functions (T3,T4 and TSH) during first trimester of pregnancy and also to determine the proportion of thyroid dysfunction in these subjects. A hospital based case series study conducted on 135 first trimester pregnant women, to evaluate the thyroid status in them and also to determine any thyroid abnormalities associated with it. There were 21(15.5%) of thyroid dysfunction cases with P>0.05 and one TPO ab positive among them in this study. According to period of gestation study reveals that higher the period of gestation age have significantly more number of thyroid dysfunction cases as compare to lower gestational age in relation with normal cases. A high proportion of only hypothyroid (15.5% hypothyroid range ) was observed in first trimester of pregnancy, and hence a routine antenatal screening is suggested to diagnose the thyroid dysfunction at the earliest gestation.
