Dose-Dependent Influence of Antithyroid Drugs on the Difference in Free Thyroxine Levels between Mothers with Graves ’ Hyperthyroidism and Their Neonates

Conclusions: We found a dose-dependent influence of ATDs on the difference in serum FT4 levels between mothers with Graves ’ hyperthyroidism and their neonates. Further studies to evaluate the optimal target FT4 and FT3 levels for the mother and neonate during pregnancy may improve the outcome of pregnant women with Graves’ hyperthyroidism.Eur Thyroid J
