Overview
According to the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, screening for postpartum thyroiditis, done by measuring anti-TPO antibodies is recommended for every pregnant woman. According to the Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, screening for postpartum thyroiditis in first trimester, by measuring anti-TPO antibodies, should be limited to every high-risk pregnant women with type 1 DM and history of postpartum thyroiditis. According to these recommendations, any patient with high risk of PPT should be followed with TSH levels in every 6th and 9th postpartum month.
