    Metabolic and many endocrine changes during pregnancy are mainly due to the minor alterations in physiology of mother and fetus. The two common endocrinopathies during pregnancy are gestational diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders. However, there is no sufficient evidence to prove the association between subclinical hypothyroidism, Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and perinatal outcome. Hence, the present clinical investigation is to determine the combined morbidity of GDM and subclinical hypothyroidism and its association with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. The rate of preterm delivery is elevated in GDM cases with SCH and 21% of SCH pregnant women had preterm delivery compared to 5.6% in euthyroid cases and was statistically significant (p=0.20). The studies also indicate an increased risk of subclinical hypothyroidism in women with GDM and maternal .. Read More»
