Physiological changes in pregnancy influence thyroid hormone levels which should be taken into consideration when assessingthe laboratory results of pregnant women. The most common disease of thyroid glands in pregnancy is autoimmune thyroiditis,which can cause hypothyroidism. Graves Basedow disease detrimentally affects the course of pregnancy and it´s essential tobe treated unlike transient hyperthyroidism, which disappears on its own without treatment. The diagnosis of the goiter andthyroid nodules during pregnancy has some specific difficulties and requires a particular attitude. Crucial to an optimal courseof pregnancy is the sufficient intake of iodine.
