Altered Patterns of Thyroid Hormones in Serum and Urine in Pregnancy and During Oral Contraceptive Therapy

Abstract: Serum total, percentage free fraction and absolute serum free hormone concentration of thyroxine and triiodothyronine were measured in control, pregnant and oral contraceptive useis, together with the daily urinary losses of unconjugated thyroid hormones. Increased urinary losses of both hormones, in particular thyroxine, were apparent in pregnancy and these could not be explained in terms either of an increased filtered load of hormone or the presence of proteinuria. The possible existence of filterable small… Show more

“…Using various methods both high (Schatz et al 1968;Yamamoto et al 1979;Harada et al 1979), unaltered (Malkasian & Mayberry 1970;Fang & Selenkow 1970;Wilson et al 1974;Osathanondh et al 1976;Parslow et al 1977;Ekins 1979) and low (Ingbar et al 1965;Liewendahl & Lamberg 1969;Thorson et al 1972;Finucane et al 1976;Rudorff et al 1978) serum free T4 have been reported. The reasons for these differences in results are probably as mentioned methodological difficulties.…”

“…Further, only few investi¬ gators have measured free T4 during and after pregnancy in the same subjects. Free T3 has been measured by fewer investigators (Avruskin et al 1976;Parslow et al 1977;Finucane et al 1976;Osathanondh et al 1976;Rudorff et al 1978;Yamamoto et al 1979;Harada et al 1979). The results show much the same scatter as for free T4.…”

“…A slight reduction in the serum levels of free T3 and T4 (Finucane et al 1976) and a rise in reverse T3 (Burman et al 1976) have been reported but seem insufficient to account for the phenomenon.
