Pre-existing Hypothyroidism in Pregnancy
Need ~30-35% more LT4 as soon as pregnant = take an extra LT4 pill on Saturdays and Sundays (two
extra pills/week = 9 pills/week) as soon as they are pregnant
Ø e.g. If she is on LT4 75 mcg PO daily before pregnancy,
take LT4 75 mcg PO q M-F and 150 mcg S/S
Ø Upon delivery, go back to pre-pregnancy dose Ø Target TSH ≤ 2.5 throughout the pregnancy

Graves’ in Pregnancy
Special Considerations:
1. Anti-thyroidal medications are teratogenic.
Mild subclinical hyperthyroidism = monitor, does not require automatic anti-thyroid drugs considering risk to fetus.
a) If treating for symptoms, use PTU in the first trimester
(conversion ~1mg MMZ:20mg PTU), MMZ after that (or discontinue all ATDs if possible!)
- Patients on MMZ <10mg/d or PTU <200mg/d may try discontinuing
b) Use the lowest possible dose (aim for T4 at high-normal range)

Graves’ in Pregnancy
2. TSH-R Ab can cross the placenta. Check Ab titer in second trimester. If very high (3x ULN),
need increased fetal monitoring for fetal Graves’.
3. Long-term treatment with β-blockers has been associated with intrauterine growth restriction, fetal bradycardia, and neonatal hypoglycemia.
4. Watch for post partum exacerbations Could also be post partum thyroiditis.

Gestational Transient Thyrotoxicosis
In normal pregnancy, Thyroid Binding Globulin and total T4 increase by 7 wks GA and peak at 16 wks GA
hCG stimulates the TSH receptor on the thyroid gland causing ↑thyroid hormone & ↓TSH
The hCG effect may be even more pronounced in:
Ø Hyperemesis gravidarum Ø Molar pregnancy
Ø Multiple gestation Ø Choriocarcinoma

Gestational Transient Thyrotoxicosis
Generally self-limited, improves by 14-18 weeks
Treat hyperemesis if present
Use B-blockers if really necessary for symptoms
Do NOT give PTU or methimazole

GTT vs. Thyroid Pathology
Differentiating thyroid pathology from GTT can be hard, but look for:
Ø Ophthalmopathy and/or thyroid bruit (Graves) Ø Goitre (more likely Graves) Ø Thyroid receptor antibody positivity (Graves) Ø Nodules (Toxic multinod. goitre or Thyroid Adenoma)
Ø History of hyperemesis (GTT) Ø History of thyroid disease (not GTT) Ø Possibility of molar pregnancy (GTT; get a pelvic U/S!)

Question 3 - 2023
A 34 year-old woman with Graves disease, who has been euthyroid on methimazole 5mg PO daily for the past year, recently tested positive for pregnancy. She is referred for thyroid management in pregnancy. Which of the following is NOT appropriate?
a) Discontinue all anti-thyroidal medications to avoid teratogenicity b) Check thyroid function tests every 4 weeks during pregnancy
c) Switch to PTU 300mg PO BID and continue until GA 16 weeks
d) Check TRAb titre immediately and check again at GA 18-22 weeks
47
Autoimmune diseases tend to improve / go into remission during pregnancy (and flare in the postpartum period). This patient has stable Graves disease and has been euthyroid for a year on very low dose of ATDs (MMZ <10mg/d, PTU <200mg/d) – it is completely safe to try discontinuation (as per ATA 2017 guidelines). Although switching to PTU is also an option, 300mg PO BID is too high of a dose (1:20 conversion would yield ~PTU 50mg PO BID)
TRAb should be checked as Low TRAb titres in early pregnancy can help predict successful withdrawal of ATD. TRAb is measured again at GA 18-22 weeks as high titres can cross the placenta and cause fetal Graves.

MCQ 4 - 2024
A 65 year old female with bipolar disorder on valproate and osteoporosis on alendronate, calcium, and vitamin D presents with leg pain after stumbling. She is found on X-ray to have an atypical femoral fracture. Secondary osteoporosis work-up was negative and her vitamin D level normal. Which of the following would be the next best step? a) Stop oral bisphosphonate and start yearly IV
bisphosphonate b) Continue oral bisphosphonate c) Stop alendronate and start denosumab
d) Stop alendronate and start teriparatide

Recommend Risk-Assessment first screening to prevent fragility fractures in women ≥ 65
FRAX risk assessment tool without BMD If preventive pharmacotherapy to be considered, then
order BMD to use with FRAX to determine fracture risk
Recommend against screening women 40-64 and men aged 40+ to prevent fragility fractures (Strong, low certainty evidence)
FRAX Tool (https://frax.shef.ac.uk/)
Age BMI Previous #? Parent with # hip? Current smoking Glucocorticoids RA 2
