Factors causing elevated free thyroxine levels in pregnant women

As a pregnant woman, the body will naturally have many adverse reactions after pregnancy. For example, many pregnant women’s free thyroxine levels are high during examinations. First of all, it means that there is something wrong with their thyroid gland. So, how can we identify the factors of such phenomenon in our lives?

If only thyroid hormone is elevated, while free thyroxine, total T3, free T3, and thyrotropin are normal, hyperthyroidism can be ignored. Moreover, your level is slightly elevated. The reasons may be: 1. Transient thyroid hormone elevation. The human body is a very complex organism, and thyroid hormone includes free thyroxine and total thyroxine. A slight elevation has little effect on the human body. 2. Experimental error. This possibility is relatively small. If the experimental method is RIA, it is possible that there is an error. However, observing the data, the error has no effect on the result.

In this case, it is just an increase in free hormones. Pay attention to follow-up. The level of thyroid stimulating hormone is normal, which means that there is no problem with thyroid function. Be careful not to be nervous. If you have any questions, consult in time.

From the above article, we learned that pregnant women have high levels of free thyroxine. The human body is very complex, and it is not easy to detect in daily life. We still want to urge friends to pay attention to their daily rest and their diet.
