Abstract
There is no universal consensus regarding cut-off points for TSH in pregnancy, so concentrations of 2.5 or 4.0 mIU/L were suggested for first trimester (Endocrine Society [2012] and ATA [2017] guidelines, respectively). Yet, the impact of physiological variation in TSH secretion has not been assessed.We assessed baseline concentrations of free T4, free T3 and TSH at 30-minute intervals (between 7.00 and 9.00 hours) in 110 healthy pregnant women,...
