Introduction: Pregnant women are more susceptible to iron deficiency anemia, and iron deficiency anemia is commonly observed in individuals with hypothyroidism. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ferrous sulfate on thyroid function in pregnant women with acquired hypothyroidism during the second trimester at the Kosar Women’s Hospital in Urmia.
Methodology: In this randomized clinical trial, 48 pregnant women with acquired hypothyroidism in their second trimester, referred to Kosar Hospital in Urmia, were randomly divided into two groups of 24. The intervention group received two daily tablets of ferrous sulfate containing 50 mg of elemental iron, while the control group received two placebo tablets. After three months, serum levels of ferritin, iron, and TSH were evaluated in both groups.
Findings: The mean age of the participants was 30.90 ± 11.24 years. The mean serum ferritin and iron levels in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (37.22 vs. 14.96, P < 0.001; 89.35 vs. 24, P < 0.001, respectively). Additionally, the mean TSH levels showed a statistically significant difference between the control and intervention groups (6.29 vs. 16.41, P < 0.001).
Conclusion: The findings indicated that the use of ferrous sulfate could influence thyroid function in pregnant women with acquired hypothyroidism during pregnancy. Further research could provide a more detailed insight.
