Amniotic fluid 3,3',5'-triiodothyronine in the detection of congenital hypothyroidism. 1980

H Landau, and J Sack, and H Frucht, and Z Palti, and D Hochner-Celnikier, and A Rosenmann

Amniotic fluid rT3 levels were measured during pregnancy in two women who previously gave birth to infants suffering from neonatal hypothyroidism. In the first case, hypothyroidism was strongly suspected because of repeated low levels of rT3 in the amniotic fluid (20-64 ng/dl) at 16 and 31 weeks of gestation. A normal infant was delivered. He is now 10 months old and taking no treatment; he has no clinical or laboratory signs of hypothyroidism. In the second case, amniotic rT3 levels (140-180 ng/dl) were well within the normal range for 15-19 weeks of pregnancy, but an affected hypothyroid infant was born. These data suggest that amniotic fluid rT3 levels may not be a reliable tool in diagnosing intrauterine hypothyroidism.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007037 Hypothyroidism A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.

D003409 Congenital Hypothyroidism A condition in infancy or early childhood due to an in-utero deficiency of THYROID HORMONES that can be caused by genetic or environmental factors, such as thyroid dysgenesis or HYPOTHYROIDISM in infants of mothers treated with THIOURACIL during pregnancy. Endemic cretinism is the result of iodine deficiency. Clinical symptoms include severe MENTAL RETARDATION, impaired skeletal development, short stature, and MYXEDEMA.

D005260 Female Females
D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D000653 Amniotic Fluid A clear, yellowish liquid that envelopes the FETUS inside the sac of AMNION. In the first trimester, it is likely a transudate of maternal or fetal plasma. In the second trimester, amniotic fluid derives primarily from fetal lung and kidney. Cells or substances in this fluid can be removed for prenatal diagnostic tests (AMNIOCENTESIS).
