What should I do if my pregnant woman has high anti-thyroglobulin antibodies?

After pregnancy, all physical indicators of female friends must be normal to ensure better development and growth of the fetus. Otherwise, there are still great hidden dangers. So what should pregnant women do if they have high anti-thyroglobulin antibodies? First of all, everyone should know that this phenomenon is very likely to cause pregnant women to have various thyroid diseases, so it cannot be ignored in treatment and even in the conditioning of daily life.

Thyroglobulin antibodies and thyroid peroxidase antibodies are diagnostic indicators of autoimmune thyroid disease. These indicators and thyroid-related hormones are usually tested during pregnancy to screen pregnant women for possible thyroid disease in order to better ensure the health of mother and baby during pregnancy and after birth. If these two antibodies increase and thyroid hormone is abnormal, autoimmune thyroid disease may occur.

Elevated levels of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies indicate that your body has produced antibodies against your own thyroid gland, which is an autoimmune abnormality. Such people are more likely to develop hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism in the future, and their miscarriage rate among pregnant women is slightly higher than that of ordinary people.

However, as long as the three indicators of thyrotropin, free triiodothyronine, and free thyroxine are all within normal values ​​(if the person is preparing to become pregnant or is already pregnant, the normal range is different from that of ordinary people), it is not hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. To reduce these two antibodies, there is currently no particularly effective medicine. You can take some drugs to adjust the immune function (be careful not to inject drugs that enhance the immune system). The most important thing is to eat a low-iodine diet and keep a calm mind.

If anti-thyroglobulin antibodies are found to be elevated, this is usually a sign of thyroiditis. Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies are autoantibodies caused by thyroiditis and are specific diagnostic indicators for chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. The positive rates of anti-thyroglobulin antibodies and anti-microsomal antibodies were highest in chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis), followed by primary hypothyroidism. It can also be detected in the blood of people with other thyroid diseases and healthy people, but the titer is lower. It is recommended to take corresponding medications as prescribed by the doctor at different stages of development, strengthen exercise to improve resistance, so as to delay or prevent the progression of the disease, and mainly use comprehensive treatment.

Through the above introduction, everyone has an idea of ​​what to do if pregnant women have high anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. For female friends, pre-pregnancy preparation is very important. Do a good pre-pregnancy check-up and make appropriate conditioning and maintenance according to your physical condition to reduce unnecessary troubles and harm during pregnancy.
