Subclinical hypothyroidism and antithyroid autoantibodies in women with subfertility or recurrent pregnancy loss: Scientific Impact Paper No. 70 June 2022: Scientific Impact Paper No. 70 June 2022

Discussions around testing and subsequent management particularly relate to women with a history of subfertility or repeated miscarriages. This Scientific Impact Paper provides information on thyroid testing and the management of mild thyroid problems and thyroid antibodies in women with a history of subfertility or recurrent miscarriages, using the latest evidence and guidelines. It concludes that there may be a role for treating these women with thyroxine tablets (the hormone produced by the thyroid gland) when subclinical hypothyroidism is present, and gives guidance on the cut-off levels for treatment.PMID:35765760 | DOI:10.1111/1471-0528.17187
