The goal of this
study was to determine the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women
and investigate its relationship with anaemia types.
Three hundred and
eighty pregnant women with a gestational age of 12 weeks were recruited for
this study. They had no history of thyroid disease or anaemia. All pregnant
women were separated into two groups: those who were euthyroid and those who
had thyroid dysfunction (groups A and B). The B group was further split into
hypothyroid, subclinical hypothyroid (SCH), and hyperthyroid, depending on the
degree of the malfunction. All subjects had their thyroid hormones and
erythrocyte indices tested using 5 mL of blood. 77.9% of the 380 subjects were
found to be euthyroid, whereas the remaining 22.1 percent showed thyroid
dysfunction, according to the data. Hypothyroidism was found in 7.9% of cases,
SCH in 13.9 percent, and hyperthyroidism was found in 0.3 percent of cases.
Anemia was identified in 97 pregnant women (32.8%) out of 296 euthyroid women,
compared to 43 women out of 84 (51.2%) in thyroid dysfunction women, which is
statistically significant. Between euthyroid and distinct thyroid dysfunction
circumstances (p0.05), there was no statistically significant difference in Hb
concentration, RBC count, MCV, MCH, and PCV between the thyroid dysfunction
groups. There was a statistically significant association between fT4 and
erythrocyte indices. Because fT4 and TSH are linked to erythrocyte indices,
it's a good idea to check for thyroid dysfunction and vice versa to avoid the
problems of anaemia and thyroid dysfunction.
