Urinary iodine excretion is low and serum thyroglobulin high in pregnant women in parts of Denmark

In the Randers area of Denmark urinary iodine excretion (which reflects iodine intake) was found to be much lower than recommended intake levels, both in women in late pregnancy [52(23-118) micrograms iodine/g creatinine, median, range, n = 20] and in non-pregnant controls [42(23-71), n = 20]. Serum thyroglobulin which is high in iodine deficiency was 32.5 micrograms/l (median) (range 10.5-78.0) in the control women and considerably higher in the pregnant women [67.0 micrograms/l (9.0-385)]. This increase was probably due to the extra iodine requirement of pregnancy which was not satisfied with an adequate increase in iodine intake. The results may suggest that pregnant women in this area should receive iodine supplementation and that a general program of iodine supplementation should be considered.     

Thyroid function in pregnant women: iodine deficiency after iodine enrichment program

Abstract

Objective: Significant changes in thyroid function occur during pregnancy which can complicate the interpretation of thyroid function tests. Therefore, normative gestational related reference ranges for thyroid hormones tests are required. The aim of this study was to determine the reference ranges for free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxin (FT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in Iranian pregnant women.

Methods: This study was a cross-sectional observational study conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, Akbarabadi University Hospital. A single blood sample from 584 pregnant women was analyzed for thyroid function. Serum levels of TSH, FT4, FT3, total T4 (TT4), T3 resin uptake (T3RU) and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO Ab) were measured. Urinary iodine was determined in some cases. Reference intervals based on 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles were calculated.

Results: The composition of reference population comprising 584 women included 162 in first trimester and 422 in the third trimester. The 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles values were used to determine the reference ranges for FT3, FT4, TT4, T3RU and TSH. These values were T3 1.4 and 2.9?pmol/L, FT4 7.1 and 18?pmol/L, TT4 7.2 and 13.5?µg/dL and TSH 0.5 and 3.9?µg/L, respectively. The level of urinary iodine in 80.5% of the subjects was less than normal.

Conclusions: Serum levels of thyroid hormones are different in Iranian population that could be due to racial differences or differences in iodine intake.     

Urinary nitrogen excretion as related to dietary protein in pregnant women.

The amount of urea in the urine acutely decreases when dietary protein is restricted. This change in urinary urea nitrogen can be represented satisfactorily by the urea nitrogen/total nitrogen (UN/TN) ratio or the UN/creatinine nitrogen (UN/CN) ratio. These determinations are apparently effective tools for simply and objectively describing the recent protein intake of pregnant women.     

淄博市不同孕期女性尿碘水平及甲状腺功能状况调查

目的:研究淄博市孕期女性碘营养状况、不同妊娠阶段甲状腺功能变化及妊娠期甲状腺疾病种类分布,制定淄博地区孕期女性特异的血清甲状腺功能指标参考值,为孕期实施碘营养监测及甲状腺功能筛查提供理论依据。方法:选取2013年3月至2014年2月在淄博市妇幼保健院门诊行产检的1268例孕妇。采用化学发光法测定妊娠早、中、晚期孕妇的血清促甲状腺素(TSH)、游离甲状腺素(FT4)、甲状腺过氧化物酶抗体(即TPOAb)。采用酸消化砷一铈接触法测定尿碘水平。结果:1268例孕妇中,孕早、中、晚期尿碘中位数分别为100.3、110.5、105.2,孕早期尿碘水平最低,孕中期尿碘中位数高于孕晚期。孕期FT4参考值范围设定:孕早期12.50~25.10pmmol/L,孕中期12.10~23.10pmmol/L,孕晚期11.20~20.16pmmol/L;孕期TSH参考值范围设定:孕早期0.15~3.20m IU/L,孕中期0.40~3.90m IU/L,孕晚期0.50~4.12m IU/L。正常尿碘组、低尿碘组及高尿碘组的FT4、TSH均在正常范围,高尿碘组、低尿碘组的FT4均低于正常尿碘组(P0.05),3组的TSH值比较差异均无统计学意义(P0.05)。1268例孕妇中,甲状腺功能异常者368例(29.02%),孕早期的甲状腺功能异常发生率高于孕中期及孕晚期,甲状腺功能异常以亚临床型甲减为主,其次为单纯TPOAb阳性。结论:淄博市孕期女性碘营养缺乏严重,需定期监测尿碘水平。随着孕周的增加,FT4值逐渐下降,而TSH值则呈上升趋势;尿碘异常早期可引起FT4的改变,对TSH影响不大。建议在妊娠早期对有甲状腺疾病危险因素的女性积极筛查甲状腺功能。     

Urinary lysosomal enzyme excretion in pregnant women with hypertensive disorders

Background: The authors assessed proximal renal tubular dysfunction and/or damage in pregnant women with various types of hypertension by measuring the three urinary lysosomal enzyme levels: N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG), arylsulfatase A and β-glucuronidase. Methods: The study consisted of 120 pregnant women divided into four groups: 41 women in 20th week of gestation or more, with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH group), 28 pregnant women after 20 weeks of pregnancy with pre-eclampsia (PE group), 21 pregnant women with chronic hypertension, identified before 20th week of pregnancy (CH group) and 30 healthy, pregnant women (healthy controls (HC) group). Results: Statistical analysis showed significantly higher levels of all the three of lysosomal enzymes in the urine of patients with PE compared with the healthy pregnant women, pregnant women with PIH and the ones with chronic hypertension. Additionally, significantly higher values of NAG were found in the group of pregnant women with PIH compared with healthy pregnancies. No correlation was found between the concentration of enzymes in urine and values of blood pressure in any of the analyzed groups of pregnant women. Conclusions: The authors conclude that higher values of all the studied enzymes in PE group, in the comparison with the other groups, indicate proximal tubular damage at the cellular level. The lack of correlation between the concentration of lysosomal enzymes and blood pressure suggests that the damage to these parts of kidney is complex. In addition, mechanisms other than hypertension realizing intracellular enzymes may be involved in this process.     

Prevalence of thyroid disorders in pregnant women with mild iodine deficiency

To assess the prevalence of thyroid disorders in a region with mild iodine deficiency, this study was undertaken in a randomized sample of pregnant women during different gestational periods. Evaluations were performed in 215 women: thyroid ultrasound scanning, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (T4) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies. At the time of participation in the study, some women (90/215) had been receiving 150–200?µg iodine. Hypothyroidism was found in four women (1.86%). Positive TPO antibodies were seen in 34 of 215 women (15.8%), and TPO antibody level over 150?mU/l was found in 9.8% (21/215). There was no significant difference between TSH levels in women with positive or negative TPO antibodies. There were no differences in TSH level between the women receiving and those not receiving iodine prophylaxis. The prevalence of goiter in 211 euthyroid women was found to be 24.2% (51/211). In the group with iodine prophylaxis, thyroid volume was found to be significantly lower (t?=?2.5; p?=?0.02) than in women who had not received it, or had started it during the second trimester. By comparison of history data on the prevalence of aborted pregnancy between the group with positive (26.5%; 9/34) and the group with negative TPO antibodies (14.3%; 26/181), no significant differences were found. We conclude that, in mild iodine deficiency, pregnancy is related to a high risk of goiter, which can be prevented by iodine prophylaxis. TPO antibody carrier status in pregnant women is probably not associated with a significant risk of thyroid dysfunction or spontaneous abortion.     

Urine iodine excretion by healthy pregnant women after vitamin and microelement supplementation (Materna) in the first trimester

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was the assessment of iodine turnover in healthy pregnant women supplemented by microelement and vitamin preparation Materna. METHODS: To assess iodine supplementation, a modified PAAM method was used for measurement of iodine concentration in morning urine. MATERIALS: 50 pregnant healthy women were tested for Materna supplementation. Urine iodine concentration was measured starting from the I trimester of pregnancy and then after 1, 2 and 3 months of Materna administration. RESULTS: It has been found, that 3 months of supplementation with Materna reduces iodine deficiency in 83% of primiparas, while in the same time urine iodine concentration was normal in only 30% of women in their third and next pregnancy. CONCLUSION: In our opinion iodine urine concentration should be assessed in all multiparas using Materna after 1 month of supplementation in order to correct individual iodine supplementation doses.

Investigating the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and thyroid function in second-trimester pregnant women

This study aims to explore the correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and thyroid hormones during the second trimester. In total, 277 pregnant women at 13–28?weeks of gestation were enrolled. According to the level of thyrotropic-stimulating hormone, they were divided into a reduced TSH group, a normal TSH group and an elevated TSH group. In this study, we found that the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was as high as 94.58%. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D level in the reduced TSH group was lower than that in the normal thyroid function group (p?=?.0005), and the 25-hydroxyvitamin D level in the elevated TSH group was higher than that in normal TSH group (p=.0339). A positive correlation was observed between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and thyrotropic-stimulating hormone (r?=?0.3034, p?=?.0000). Furthermore, 25-hydroxyvitamin D was negatively correlated with the free thyroxine level (r?=??0.1286, p?=?.0323) as well as the free triiodothyronine level (r?=?0.1247, p?=?.0380). These data suggest that the relationships between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and thyroid parameters were characterized during the second trimester. Pregnant women in the second-trimester who are diagnosed with transient hyperthyroidism should be evaluated for the possibility of vitamin D deficiency.

Overuse of cooking salt by pregnant women in Bulgaria

The authors investigate the ovemse of salt by pregnant women in two aspects--as a detrimental nutritive habit and as a factor in the pathogenesis of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy. The study involves 140 pregnant women who were given a specially designed questionnaire in order to examine their nutritional habits. One third (33%) of them intake additional amount of salt during nutrition. Almost half of them (43%) add salt before tasting the meal. This is exclusively seen in the group of women above 30. Additional 2-3 grams of salt are intaken while eating salty cheese and pickles during the winter. The approximate amounts of salt for each trimester of pregnancy are calculated. The authors defined which foods are the greatest contributors of salt and make the conclusions of the detrimental impact of overuse of salt during pregnancy on the mother and the child.
