Association of altered thyroid hormone levels with insulin resistance and vitamin D levels in pregnancy

During the early gestational weeks, patientsshould closely be monitored for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism as well as insulin resistance for detecting DM throughout thetrimesters of gestational period.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯

Objective & Hypothesis:Aim: Thyroid disorders have a crucial impact on maternal and fetal health During pregnancy, there are different results regarding therelationship between thyroid disorders, insulin resistance (IR) and vitamin D levels in different studies.We aimed to investigate theassociation between thyroid hormone levels and IR and vitamin D levels in pregnant women.Material and Methods: In this study, a total of 187 pregnant women between 5-39 gestational weeks consisting of 101 patients withaltered TSH and free T4 (FT4) levels, and 86 patients with normal TSH and FT4 levels, were enrolled in four months period.

📊

Key Findings & Data:Their TSH,FT4, Anti TG, Anti TPO,25-hydroxy vitamin D, insulin, glucose,creatinine,hemoglobin levels and age, gravidea, gestational week andinsulin resistance (IR) were defined.

💡

Conclusion & Impact:During the early gestational weeks, patientsshould closely be monitored for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism as well as insulin resistance for detecting DM throughout thetrimesters of gestational period.

Abstract

Aim: Thyroid disorders have a crucial impact on maternal and fetal health During pregnancy, there are different results regarding therelationship between thyroid disorders, insulin resistance (IR) and vitamin D levels in different studies.We aimed to investigate theassociation between thyroid hormone levels and IR and vitamin D levels in pregnant women.Material and Methods: In this study, a total of 187 pregnant women between 5-39 gestational weeks consisting of 101 patients withaltered TSH and free T4 (FT4) levels, and 86 patients with normal TSH and FT4 levels, were enrolled in four months period. Their TSH,FT4, Anti TG, Anti TPO,25-hydroxy vitamin D, insulin, glucose,creatinine,hemoglobin levels and age, gravidea, gestational week andinsulin resistance (IR) were defined. Statistical methods were used for analyses.Results: In the group with thyroid hormone alterations, FT4 (p=0.010), creatinine (p=0.001) and glucose (p=0.044) levels weresignificantly higher.Pregnancy week was significantly earlier in the hyperthyroidism group (p=0.001). Vitamin D levels were notassociated with BMI, TSH, FT4, anti TG and anti TPO. Although not significant TSH, anti TPO and vitamin D mean levels were higherin patients who had IR .Those with positive anti-TG and anti-TPO and presence of IR were higher in the study group.Conclusion: In our study, levels of vitamin D and thyroid hormones were not associated; anti TG and anti TPO levels and higherIR presence were observed in pregnant women with altered thyroid hormone levels. During the early gestational weeks, patientsshould closely be monitored for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism as well as insulin resistance for detecting DM throughout thetrimesters of gestational period.
