Executive summary of the SEEN (Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición[Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition])-SEGO (Sociedad Española deGinecología y Obstetricia [Spanish Society of Gynaecology and Obstetrics]) consensusdocument on the management of thyroid dysfunction during pregnancy

During pregnancy, thyroid function disorders are associated with multiple complications, both maternal and foetal. In recent years, numerous Clinical Practice Guidelines have been developed to facilitate the identification and correct management of thyroid disease in pregnant women. However, this proliferation of guidelines has led to confusion by proposing different cut-off points for reference values and different recommendations for similar situations. For this reason, the Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición and the Sociedad Española de Ginecología y Obstetricia have prepared this Consensus Document, with the aim of creating a framework for joint action to unify criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction in these patients. The document is structured to answer the most frequently asked questions in clinical practice, grouped into five sections: 1/Reference values for thyroid function tests and screening during pregnancy 2/Iodine nutrition 3/Hypothyroidism and pregnancy 4/Hyperthyroidism and pregnancy 5/ Thyroid autoimmunity.
