Urinary iodine level assessment during third trimester in a sample of Egyptian pregnant women and its relation to thyroid function

Iodine is a fundamental trace element for thyroid hormones production. Iodine deficiency is a significant public health problem; worldwide. Although iodine deficiency was historically marked as a problem of developing nations, observing studies have recently showed rising prevalence of iodine deficiency in developed and industrialized nations. Iodine status during pregnancy impacts maternal thyroid homeostasis. Iodine deficiency during Pregnancy and early neonatal period may adversely affects fetal brain development. While the most observable outcome of iodine deficiency is goiter, health outcomes rely on the degree of iodine deficiency, where moderate-to-severe iodine deficiency during pregnancy increases rates of maternal and neonatal complications specially stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, small for gestational age, and increases perinatal mortality. Newborn of iodine deficient mothers are at increased risk for neurocognitive dysfunctions, with ABSTRACT
