[Puerperal thyroid gland dysfunction in healthy patients].

Elevated thyroid antibodies (AB) have been described in clinically healthy women indicating a postpartum thyroid dysfunction. We evaluated the incidence of the postpartum thyroid dysfunction in Hannover, FRG. 121 women were examined 1-5 days pp and 2-4 months later; 76 were restudied 5-7 months pp. Every time T3, T4, TSH, TBG, microsomal AB and thyroglobulin AB were determined. Six patients showed increased TAB and 10 increased MAB titers. Severe clinical symptoms were not complained. In some patients these elevated titers turned to normal subsequently. Further studies must evaluate the prognosis of this disease.

[Postpartum thyroid gland dysfunction--a prospective study].

In a prospective study the postpartum thyroid function was investigated in 120 healthy women in the department of obstetrics and gynecology of the Medical School Hannover. A physical examination was performed in the first week after delivery and two to five and five to eleven months later. Additionally blood was drawn for the determination of thyroid hormones, thyroid autoantibodies and thyroid-stimulating hormone. In 10% of the patients pathological titers for thyroid microsomal autoantibodies and thyroglobulin autoantibodies were found, in 2.5% pathological concentrations of thyroid hormones. In none of these patients clinical symptoms of thyroid dysfunction could be found. After delivery a immunologically mediated thyroid disease should be considered in patients with clinical symptoms. Then the thyroid function needs to be investigated.
