Abstract:Introduction: GD, mediated by TSH receptor-stimulating immunoglobulins (Igs) (rTSH), can lead to fetal thyroid dysfunction through the passage of Igs through the placenta during pregnancy. TRAb levels, used for prognostic evaluation, measure rTSH-stimulating and blocking Igs while TSI evaluates only as stimulating Igs. Objective: To prospectively evaluate pregnant women with DG and newborns (NB) by measuring TRAb and TSI and their correlation with thyroid function and postpartum complications. Methods: The pat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
