Indian research on HG and hyperthyroidism link

Postby Mom to Aidan & Daniel » Oct 19, 2007 5:03 am

I was not sure where to post this. Take a look at this article, which seems to indicate that there was a statistically significant link found between HG and hyperthyriodism!

Postpartum thyroiditis (PPT) is the occurrence, in the postpartum period, of transient hyperthyroidism and/or transient hypothyroidism, with most women returning to the euthyroid state by 1 year postpartum. The prevalence of PPT varies from 1.1 to 16.7%, with a mean prevalence of 7.5%. Women with type I diabetes mellitus have a three-fold increase in the prevalence of PPT. PPT is an autoimmune disorder which is a transient form of Hashimoto's thyroiditis occurring postpartum as a consequence of the immunologic flare following the immune suppression of pregnancy.
