Thyroid function in anemic fetuses.
Abstract
Thyroid function was studied in 75 fetal blood samples obtained by cordocentesis from red cell isoimmunized pregnancies at 18-37 weeks of gestation. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and free and total thyroxine and triiodothyronine were significantly higher than in normal controls. Furthermore, there was a significant association between the increase in TSH and the degree of fetal anemia.
