Abstract

Thyroid disorder is the second most common endocrine disorder in pregnancy, after diabetes. The increased prevalence of thyroid disorders makes it necessary to start universal screening of pregnant women for thyroid disorders which would help in the early identification and rectification of thyroid disorders in pregnant women. Further, early screening and treatment of thyroid disorders would prevent to a large extent the incidence of thyroid disorders in the newborns, which is one of the leading causes of mental retardation.
