Thyroid
March 2019
4 Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, and University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine, Calgary, Canada.
Background: Population-, assay-, and trimester-specific reference intervals for thyroid function tests are necessary to assess thyroid status accurately and manage thyroid disease throughout pregnancy. This study's objective was to verify if the manufacturer's recommended trimester-specific reference intervals for thyroid tests and the American Thyroid Association's recommended total thyroxine (TT4) pregnancy reference intervals were verifiable and appropriate for use in the authors' multicultural population.
Methods: Blood samples were obtained from the following sources: stored frozen surplus blood from women undergoing routine aneuploidy screening (first- and second-trimester samples, n = 274), women participating in an observational cohort study (second- and third-trimester samples, n = 135), and blood collected from women presenting for assessment to the labor and delivery ward (third-trimester samples, n = 35).
