To reveal the iodine status of pregnant women and its impact on thyroid function of neonates in high iodine area.
A total of 210 pregnant women were chosen from a hospital in Haixing county, Hebei province. Pregnant women's random urinary and neonates' cord blood were collected. The urinary iodine concentration (UIC) was examined by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry. The levels of free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and sensitive thyroid-stimulating hormone (sTSH) in serum were measured by chemiluminescence.
The age of 210 pregnant women was (27.69 +/- 4.73) years old, whose urinary iodine median (inter-quartile range ) was 1240.70 (1292.68) microg/L. 84.3% (177/210) of the pregnant women had excessive iodine intake (UIC > or = 500 microg/L), 13.8% (29/210) had more than adequate iodine intake( UIC within 250 - 499 microg/L), 0.5% (1/210) had adequate iodine intake (UIC within 150 - 249 microg/L) and 1.4% (3/210) had insufficient iodine intake (UIC < 150 microg/L). The average serum level of FT3, FT4 in neonates were (2.93 +/- 0.59), (15.03 +/- 1.92) pmol/L, respectively. The median (inter-quartile range) of serum sTSH in neonates were 7.33 (5.59) mU/L 78.1% (164/210) of the neonates' serum TSH were beyond 5 mU/L. There were no correlation between pregnant women's urinary iodine level and neonates' serum FT3 and sTSH level (P > 0.05), but there was a positive correlation between pregnant women's urinary iodine level and neonates' serum FT4 level (P < 0.01). Serum FT4 level of the neonates with whose mothers had insufficient iodine intake ((12.99 +/- 1.10) pmol/L) were statistically lower than those with their mothers had excessive iodine intake (15.16 +/- 1.83) pmol/L) (P < 0.05).
Most of the pregnant women in high iodine area were excessive for iodine nutrition, but still a few pregnant women had insufficient iodine nutrition. The level of neonates' serum sTSH were relatively high and monitoring of risk of hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism should be strengthened.
揭示高碘地区孕妇碘营养状况及其对新生儿甲状腺功能的影响。
选取河北省海兴县某医院的210名孕妇。采集孕妇随机尿样和新生儿脐血。采用砷铈催化分光光度法检测尿碘浓度(UIC)。采用化学发光法测定血清中游离三碘甲状腺原氨酸(FT3)、游离甲状腺素(FT4)和敏感促甲状腺激素(sTSH)水平。
210名孕妇年龄为(27.69±4.73)岁,尿碘中位数(四分位数间距)为1240.70(1292.68)μg/L。84.3%(177/210)的孕妇碘摄入过量(UIC≥500μg/L),13.8%(29/210)的孕妇碘摄入充足(UIC在250~499μg/L之间),0.5%(1/210)的孕妇碘摄入适宜(UIC在150~249μg/L之间),1.4%(3/210)的孕妇碘摄入不足(UIC<150μg/L)。新生儿血清FT3、FT4平均水平分别为(2.93±0.59)、(15.03±1.92)pmol/L。新生儿血清sTSH中位数(四分位数间距)为7.33(5.59)mU/L,78.1%(164/210)的新生儿血清TSH超过5mU/L。孕妇尿碘水平与新生儿血清FT3、sTSH水平无相关性(P>0.05),但与新生儿血清FT4水平呈正相关(P<0.01)。母亲碘摄入不足的新生儿血清FT4水平((12.99±1.10)pmol/L)低于母亲碘摄入过量的新生儿(15.16±1.83)pmol/L(P<0.05)。
高碘地区大部分孕妇碘营养过量,但仍有少数孕妇碘营养不足。新生儿血清sTSH水平较高,应加强对甲状腺功能减退和亚临床甲状腺功能减退风险的监测。
