title: [Iodine and thyroid hormone metabolism in pregnancy].
abstract: The influence of pregnancy on thyroid function as well as important interactions of pregnancy and thyroid disorders are of high clinical importance.

Because of the increasing frequency of thyroid disorders during pregnancy, knowledge of these issues is important in order to diagnose, treat and manage all patients exposed to these problems.
