dc.description.abstractBackground: In our country there is paucity of studies related to thyroid dysfunctions in pregnancy. Hence the present study was planned to evaluate the prevalence of thyroid disorders in second trimester of pregnancy. Methods: Assay of FT3, FT4 and TSH were done in 100 pregnant women in their second trimester of pregnancy selected from Obstetrics & Gynaecology OPD. Results: Out of total 100 women, 35 (35%) had sub-clinical hypothyroidism and 32 (32%) of them had overt hypothyroidism. None of the women had either sub-clinical hyperthyroidism or overt hyperthyroidism. Conclusion: Universal screening in pregnancy should be done in country like India for thyroid disorders as the prevalence of these undiagnosed thyroid dysfunctions is high.en_US
